No patient should be disadvantaged based on their cancer type

But for thousands of Australians with high mortality rate cancers, that’s the reality. We shine a light on 16 of the most frequently diagnosed, less common cancers and raise vital funds to give every patient a fair shot at survival.

Help us even the playing field for high mortality rate cancers

High mortality rate cancers aren't as rare as you might think — and chances are, someone you know has been affected by one.

Despite the dedication of brilliant researchers, many life-saving studies never get off the ground due to lack of funding. As a result, the five-year survival rates for these cancers remain heartbreakingly low.

With your help, we are going to change that. Because every cancer patient deserves an equal shot at survival.

The Aftershock of a cancer diagnosis is far-reaching

The Aftershock represents the ripple effect of a cancer diagnosis, its impact reaching far beyond the patient to their loved ones and the wider community. We’re here to spark deeper conversations about the ongoing aftershocks felt throughout every stage of the cancer journey.

Our Support Hub provides tools and resources to support everyone effected by a cancer diagnosis. 

We're committed to improving the 5-year survival rate for these devastating cancers

We’re proud to partner with leading Australian researchers dedicated to improving the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of high mortality cancers. With the support of our generous community, we give these brilliant minds the resources they need to discover better outcomes, and save more lives.
