More about Cure Cancer Australia

Cure Cancer Australia Foundation has been funding cancer and leukaemia research programs since it began 39 years ago. Until 2002 Cure Cancer Australia Foundation was the Leo & Jenny Leukaemia and Cancer Foundation. Both Leo & Jenny died of leukaemia and their families established trusts to fight leukaemia and cancer by raising funds to support research and treatment programs.

Cure Cancer Australia aims to be Australia’s leading independent foundation for cancer research. We fund the critical early work of brilliant investigators searching for cures for cancers. We have funded grants across all areas of cancer research, including children’s cancers, breast, bowel, skin, prostate, thyroid and bladder cancers and leukemia.

Our vision is a world without cancer, nothing less

To date, more than $8.9 million has been allocated to individual research projects attached to cancer research institutes, teaching hospitals and university medical faculties in New South Wales, Australia. Cure Cancer Australia raises funds through our innovative approach to fundraising and with the support of valued corporate and individual donors. Each year funds raised go directly to brilliant young researchers to enable them to pursue their potential breakthrough research for a period of one year.

The researchers are based in Australia’s leading medical research institutes such as Children’s Cancer Institute Australia, Children’s Medical Research Institute, Garvan Institute of Medical Research , Centenary Institute, Westmead Millennium Institute, Kolling Institute of Medical Research as well as teaching hospitals and university medical faculties.

Cure Cancer Australia is proud to have been selected as Can Too’s partner.
