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.
Contributions go towards world-class research, prevention programs and support service.
Thank you for giving Queenslanders with cancer a home away from home in 2023.
Our lodges don’t just offer physical accommodation. They help cancer patients and carers navigate the health system, connect with the practical and emotional services they need, and share their experiences with people who truly understand.“The relief and amazement our clients share when they first tour through their unit, you can see it in their faces. It’s so rewarding to witness their fear and anxiety dissipate as they settle in.” – Robyn, cancer support advisor, Gluyas Rotary Lodge.Last year, our five lodges across the state provided over 25,800 nights of accommodation to Queenslanders who had to travel to get their cancer treatment: Cairns: Marylyn Mayo Lodge 3,734 nights provided.Townsville: Gluyas Rotary Lodge 5,712 nights provided.Rockhampton: Central Queensland Cancer Support Centre 1,703 nights provided.Brisbane: Charles Wanstall Lodge 10,159 nights provided.Toowoomba: Olive McMahon Lodge 4,499 nights provided.Want to know what it’s like to stay at our lodge?
