Cancer Council Queensland

We are Queensland's leading cancer charity working across every aspect of every cancer. Every day, we support families affected by cancer when they need it most, speak out on behalf of the community on cancer issues, empower people to reduce their cancer risk, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer. Thousands of Queenslanders donate and volunteer for us each day, helping us work towards a cancer-free future. We were established in 1961 as the Queensland Cancer Fund, in response to an increasing need for cancer-related services across the state. Today, Cancer Council Queensland employs over 250 staff statewide, and relies on support from more than 2,500 registered volunteers. We have offices in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Maroochydore, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast. Cancer Council Queensland is a member of Cancer Council Australia and is affiliated with the International Union Against Cancer (UICC).
