Bequests

Thanks to the generosity of the Australian community, Cancer Council provides more than $50 million a year to cancer research, along with education and prevention programs and support services assisting thousands of patients and families.

A bequest in your will can make a real difference in the fight against cancer and help those who are diagnosed with cancer, including family, friends and future generations.

Some of the ways your bequest can help:

• Research to discover the causes of cancer and improve treatment
• Education and awareness campaigns that save lives by preventing cancer and detecting it earlier
• Services for people with cancer, their families and carers, including support groups, palliative care, accommodation for cancer patients having treatment, financial assistance and resources
• Information and support through Cancer Council Helpline, a free* national services (more than 150,000 Australians call for information and support every year)
• Advice to doctors and other health professionals about prevention and best treatment.

* local call cost anywhere in Australia.
