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.
How cancer affects the body and why understanding it matters.
Cancer is a disease that starts in the body’s cells, which are essential for our bodies’ ability to grow and heal. Whether you or a loved one is impacted by cancer, taking time to learn about cancer, its various types, and available treatments can help you navigate this challenging time with a renewed sense of hope and confidence.
Knowing what cancer looks like and what to expect during screening, diagnosis and treatment is important for all Queenslanders. Understanding cancer can help support your wellbeing, reduce risk and improve the effectiveness of treatment.
There are many types of cancer, each requiring different treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. By learning as much as you can about the type of cancer you are dealing with and working closely with your medical team, you’ll be guided toward the most suitable option for treatment for the best possible outcome.
While not all cancers can be prevented, one third of cancers can be avoided through healthy lifestyle choices. Understanding what could cause cancer or what cancer might look like, can help you make informed decisions for your health to better lower your risk.
Through our lifesaving research, seeking policy change and implementing prevention and early detection programs, we’re committed to helping all Queenslanders.
