Work with Cancer Council

The chances are, we all know someone affected by cancer.

Cancer affects a large number of Australians, both directly and indirectly. One in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85¹.  An estimated 150,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year. That's more than 300 Australians of all ages diagnosed each day, and sadly around 100 Australians that will die of cancer - today.

In Australia today, there are more than 1.1 million people either living with cancer or who've survived a diagnosis. It's a disease that doesn't rest, and for that very reason, neither do we.

There is some good news. The survival rate for many common cancers has increased by 30% in the past two decades. And we know that 1 in 3 cancers are preventable². You can learn more about how we're working towards a cancer free future here.

You can take a leadership role and show that your organisation is committed to help work towards a cancer free future through a partnership with Cancer Council.

Cancer Council is leading the way in reducing the impact of cancer in Australia. By working with us, you can help bring us closer to a cancer free future and share the benefits of Cancer Council's hard work and strong reputation.

Benefits for your business

There are a range of ways we can work together to design partnerships that work for you and for us, once your CSR objectives are defined. 

Cause related marketing

Cause related marketing campaigns contribute a portion of sales to Cancer Council.

These campaigns can be instrumental in enhancing your brand, stimulating sales and market share.  It also publicly demonstrates your organisation's commitment to helping reduce the impact of cancer in the Australian community.   

A company's association with a cause is increasingly influencing consumer's purchasing decisions:

55% of men and 75% of women prefer to purchase a brand that supports a charity
76% of consumers are in favour of supporting medical research, such as cancer
24% of Australians have indeed switched brands in the past year due to that brand's support for a cause/charity.

A cause-related marketing campaign with your organisation may align your products, services or organisations brand with one of Cancer Council's programs or services or the much loved community fundraising events (such as Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, or Daffodil Day). We can work with you to determine the right fit. 

In kind support

Providing goods or services to Cancer Council at no charge enables us to direct an even greater percentage of funds raised to support our research, support and prevention programs. 

Cancer Council also offers partners opportunities to donate goods or services for use as featured prizes to help Cancer Council in its fundraising.
