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.
The discovery of new knowledge through research excellence and the ability to implement research findings into cancer policy, practice and service delivery.

Dr Daniel Lindsay is a Senior Research Fellow and Cancer Health Economics Group Lead within the Viertel Cancer Research Centre. Dr Lindsay has a background in psychology, with extensive knowledge and experience in health economics, biostatistics and quantitative research methods. His research focuses on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of health interventions in cancer care, assessing the financial burden of cancer survivors and assessing inequities in costs and cancer care. Dr Lindsay has a specific interest in the health economics of skin cancer, including primary and secondary prevention, but has worked across all types of cancer. Dr Lindsay is driven by the practical application and implementation of his research findings to support policy, service delivery and clinical practice.

My current role as Senior Research Fellow, Cancer Health Economics allows me to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of health interventions in cancer prevention, screening, treatment and supportive care. The financial aspects of cancer care are becomingly increasingly important in an ageing population and resource-constrained healthcare system. Working closely with clinicians, key stakeholders and consumers, my work builds on clinical evidence to provide additional financial insights for the wider implementation of novel cancer interventions and models of care.
It is almost impossible to find someone not impacted by cancer in Australia, so the ability to conduct quality cancer-related research that can potentially contribute to increased cancer prevention and/or improve patient outcomes is a real privilege.
While I still feel like there is a way to go in this space, watching the continual development and integration of artificial intelligence into healthcare is exciting. There are endless opportunities for AI to improve healthcare delivery and efficiency and I am excited to see what further developments arise in the future.
