You can hold a fundraiser to support Cancer Council anywhere in Australia. If you live in Victoria please contact your local state team to enquire about your fundraising opportunities.

You can register anytime you like by clicking the 'Get Started' button.

Straight away, you'll receive a registration e-mail with login details for your online fundraising page. Within a few days, you'll be contacted by our dedicated support team and receive your welcome pack.

So we can provide you help and guidance as and when you need it. Once you register we’ll send you a welcome pack containing the things you need to run a successful fundraiser.

You'll get a document which authorises you to fundraise on our behalf which you may need to show donors, sponsors and other event organisers

Yes, there are rules for fundraisers to protect you, your donors, and Cancer Council. We ask that you carefully consider our health messages listed below before holding your event:

• Tobacco
• Sun exposure
• Obesity and healthy eating
• Alcohol

Cancer Council requires that expenses do not exceed 40% of your total fundraising. A great way to keep your costs down is to ask local businesses and your networks if they can donate venues, catering and prizes.

Check out our Fundraising Guidelines, read through the materials in your welcome pack or contact our support team on 1300 65 65 85 if you are unsure about anything.

Our dedicated team are just a phone call away to help you plan, organise and have the best time at your event. However, they can not actually undertake tasks for you.

Your money goes directly to Cancer Council to help fund our work to free the future from cancer. To find out more check out the How Your Fundraising Helps page. You can also call your local office to find out what's going on in your community.

Once you have created your fundraising page and been in contact with your local Cancer Council representative, you will be able to start planning the promotion of your fundraiser.

Using social media is a great way to promote your event as you will have control over the images and updates you share, and will be able to engage with people directly making your messages personalised.

You can also approach local media who may cover your fundraiser; however it is important to speak to your local Cancer Council representative first.
