Get involved and help Queenslanders living with cancer by volunteering. Volunteers are the heart of our organisation. Join us to make a greater impact and connect with like-minded people.
Every contribution helps support those living with cancer. Whether a one-off donation or monthly gift, your support ensures funding stability for long-term goals and future generations.
Leave a legacy by including a gift in your Will, starting a tribute page for a loved one, or funding a research grant for early-career cancer researchers driving clinical innovations.
Organise a fundraising event in your community, either as a team or an individual. You can join one of our existing fundraising events or you might like to come up with your own way.
When organisations work together, we can have a greater impact for every Queenslander going through cancer and help amplify our message for all Australians.
However you get involved, you’re making a direct impact on the lives of Queenslanders affected by cancer. See the results of what we’ve all achieved.

When we investigate which areas across the country have higher and lower cancer survival rates and incidence of cancer, key stakeholders are able to make informed decisions about where to target interventions. This translates to better outcomes and greater awareness of the importance of cancer prevention, screening programs, treatment options and support services in the most affected communities.
Working at Cancer Council Queensland means being part a great team creating hope for individuals, their families and the future.
