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.
This means when you give to support local cancer research, prevention and early detection programs, and vital cancer support services, you also receive a benefit.
Donating lowers your taxable income
When you claim a donation to Cancer Council Queensland on your tax return, it lowers your taxable income.
For example, if you earn $200,000 per year and donate $5,000 to Cancer Council Queensland, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) assesses your taxable income as $195,000 instead of $200,000.
This translates to real tax benefits
How much you save depends on your marginal tax rate.
If your marginal tax rate is 37%
You’ll save $370 on your return when you donate $1,000
