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.
Knowing that early detection saves lives.

Bowel cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Australia, but when detected early, it’s also one of the most highly treatable cancers. Our research contributes to helping more Australians complete their biannual bowel cancer screening kits, enhancing rates of early detection, and reducing bowel cancer mortality.
Everyone has been, or will be, touched by cancer in some way. Through promotion of cancer screening, early detection, and early intervention, we can increase the number of Australians whose cancer outlook becomes hopeful, rather than fearful.
