Every 4 minutes, 1 Australian receives a life-altering diagnosis: cancer. In 2022, that’s an estimated 151,000 members of our community. Cure Cancer is committed to identifying, assessing, and funding early-career cancer research with the best chance of finding a cure, while providing care and hope for those experiencing it now. For the past 55 years, Cure Cancer has been dedicated to funding cutting edge research across all cancer types, giving talented young scientists the opportunity to make an impact with their innovative and ground-breaking ideas.

We are the only Australian organisation dedicated exclusively to funding emerging researchers, creating a pipeline of future research success. Our seed funding has kick-started over 540 cancer researcher careers and led to numerous global breakthroughs in cancers including brain cancer, breast cancer, immunotherapy, pancreatic cancer and childhood leukaemia. Without our funding, these discoveries may never have been made.

By investing in research today, we can safeguard the generations of tomorrow.
