The Essentials for an Unexpected Hospital Stay 
When a trip to the GP ends up with tests at the Women's and Children's Hospital, followed by a cancer diagnosis. A family is often in shock and without the necessities for an unexpected hospital stay. That's where the Childhood Cancer Association can help, from the very beginning, by gifting a Hospital Support Pack.
Once treatment is finished, what then... 
Thanks to medical research, the overall survival rate for childhood cancer has now risen to more than 80%. However, while most children will now survive a cancer diagnosis, a number of longer term impacts are becoming more apparent.
40 years and counting 
2022 marked 40 years of support for children with cancer, and their families, by the Childhood Cancer Association. Ever since 1982, it has been our mission to provide practical, hands-on support for children with cancer, and their families.
Your Impact: Hospital Support Pack 
Monday 1 Mar, 2021
We needed your help to fund our Hospital Support Packs to ensure families are supported when their child first arrives in hospital. Thanks to your generosity, we were even able to upgrade our former tote bag to a more practical overnight bag.
High Five for Kids with Cancer 
We're asking people, just like you, to give a virtual High Five to kids with cancer to ensure they have the support they need when they need it most. Contact us to get your workplace, school or sporting group involved to make an even bigger impact.
