Our mission

Reducing the burden of cancer. Cancer Council Queensland (CCQ) raises funds that are dedicated to improving quality of life for people living with cancer, through research, patient care, prevention and early detection.

Research

Cancer Council Queensland funds more cancer research than any other independent community-based charity in Queensland. In 2018 $9.4million was invested into life-saving research.

Support

Each year we provide the Queensland community with vital support and assistance. With more people surviving a cancer diagnosis the support available is more important than ever. In 2018 $10.5million was invested in support services, including our accommodation lodges.
