Almost everyone will be touched by cancer at some stage during their life, through their own fight against the disease or through family and friends.

One of Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisations, the Australian Cancer Research Foundation is dedicated to helping find a cure for cancer through the continued support of world-class research in Australia.

In recent years, research funding has supported the discovery of new ways to detect and treat various types of cancer, which have in turn helped to improve cancer survival rates. Furthermore, funding has provided for better facilities and equipment to enable researchers to carry out vital work.

We need your help

Given the prevalence of cancer and its effect on Australians of all ages, it is our belief that everyone can play a role in finding the eventual cure. Through funding there is research and through research there is hope. Your engagement can make a difference in helping to find a cure faster.

How you can help

There a variety of ways you can be part of the cure, including bequests, Cancerians Committees, corporate partnerships, donations in lieu of gifts for weddings, anniversaries, engagements, birthdays,  in-memoriam donations, and volunteering.
