Business / Provider Profile
On average, one Queenslander will be diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes. Cancer Council Queensland is dedicated to improving quality of life for people living with cancer, through research, support, prevention and early detection.
Our employees, volunteers, and supporters are at the heart of our work – to lead Queenslanders in a partnership against cancer.
We were established in 1961 as the Queensland Cancer Fund, in response to an increasing need for cancer-related services across the state. This year, we are celebrating 61 years of supporting Queenslanders, affected by cancer.
Today, we employ about 200 employees statewide and have more than 1300 registered volunteers. Thousands of Queenslanders donate and volunteer for us each day, helping us to improve cancer control. We have eight offices statewide and operate five accommodation lodges providing regional cancer patients with a home-away-from-home when they access lifesaving treatment services in Queensland’s major cities.
We are a member of Cancer Council Australia and work in global affiliation with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).
