We help kids
and their families
cope with
childhood
cancer.
2022 marks 40 years of support for children with cancer, and their families, by the Childhood Cancer Association. We couldn't do what we do without your support.
Thanks for making a difference.
Donate NowHelp us help more families, more often.
A child's cancer diagnosis
is devastating news
for everyone.
Every week, a child from South Australia, the Northern Territory, regional Victoria or NSW is referred to us for support.
Because while families can rely on outstanding medical treatment, the critical support services they need aren't provided by either state or federal government.
The Childhood Cancer Association provides practical, hands-on support to children with cancer, and their families.
We do this without a dollar of ongoing public funding.
We need your help to support kids with cancer.
Thank you.
