Cancer Council believes in a cancer free future. It is the only organisation that works across every area of every cancer: research, prevention, advocacy, information and support. Cancer Council NSW is an independent charity and is over 94% community funded. Our unique combination of local program delivery, community engagement and national influence enables everyone who cares about reducing the impact of cancer to make the biggest possible difference

At Children’s Cancer Institute, we believe that a life should be long. That every child should have the chance to grow up and grow old. To plan exciting futures, chase their dreams, and fulfil their potential. But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they’ve even had a chance to make their mark. Here in Australia, more than 1000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every single year. And every week, 3 young lives will be lost to the disease. For those who survive, up to 70% will experience serious long-term health problems caused by the very treatment that saved their life. As the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer, our role is vital. Sixty years ago, cancer was nearly always a death sentence for a child. Today, thanks to medical research, more than 8 out of 10 children survive. But we won’t stop until every child can live a long, happy and healthy life. Our task won’t be easy – childhood cancer is hugely complex – but we’re confident that with the brightest brains, the latest in cutting-edge technology and worldwide collaboration, we can and we will cure every child of cancer. It’s not if, it’s when. To view all of our current career opportunities, please visit: https://ccia.org.au/home/join-us/work-us/

The Leukaemia Foundation is the only national charity dedicated to helping those with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders survive and then live a better quality of life. It exists only because of the generous and ongoing support of the Australian community. Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma are all types of blood cancer and they can develop in anyone, of any age, at any time. Another 53 Australians are diagnosed each and every day. Although improved treatments and care are helping more people survive, sadly someone loses their life to blood cancer every two hours. In fact, blood cancer combined is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, and the second most common cause of cancer death, claiming more lives than breast cancer and melanoma combined.
