These are the terms and conditions (Terms) for the National Skin Cancer Action Week – Cancer Council Daily Giveaway (Promotion). Please read them before you enter. By entering the Promotion, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. The Promoter
The Promotion is run by Cancer Council Australia (ABN 91 130 793 725) of 300 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010 (we, us, our or the Promoter). You can contact us at competition@cancer.org.au.
2. The Promotion
- The Promotion runs for 5 days, from 9:00am AEDT on Monday 16 November 2026 to 11:59pm AEDT on Friday 20 November 2026 (Promotion Period), as part of National Skin Cancer Action Week.
- On each day of the Promotion Period there are two separate giveaways: one run through a post on our official Facebook page and one run through a post on our official Instagram account (each, a Daily Post), making 10 giveaways in total. Our only official accounts for this Promotion are our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cancercouncilaustralia/ and our Instagram account @cancercouncil (together, our Social Media Pages). The Facebook Daily Post and the Instagram Daily Post for each day are separate giveaways, and each has its own draw.
- This Promotion is conducted in every Australian State and Territory.
- Entries for each daily giveaway open when that day's Daily Post is published and close at 11:59pm AEDT on the same day (Daily Entry Period). Each Daily Post will be published at 9:00am AEDT on the relevant day of the Promotion Period.
- All times in these Terms are Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), which is Sydney time.
- This Promotion is a game of chance. Winners are chosen by random draw from all valid entries, and skill plays no part in deciding who wins.
3. Who can enter
The Promotion is open to residents of Australia only.
You must have your own genuine Facebook or Instagram account (as applicable) and comply with that platform's own terms of use, including its minimum age requirements, to enter.
Employees, contractors and agents of the Promoter, and their immediate family members, are not excluded from entering this Promotion.
If you are under 18, you must have the permission of your parent or legal guardian to enter. If a winner is under 18, we may require their parent or legal guardian to claim the Prize on their behalf, provide the delivery details and confirm their consent, and we may send the Prize to that parent or guardian.
4. How to enter
To enter a Daily Post's giveaway, you must, during the relevant Daily Entry Period, comment on that Daily Post with the specific word or phrase requested in that Daily Post. You do not need to tag anyone to enter.
You may only enter once per day. If you comment more than once, use more than one account, or comment on both the Facebook and Instagram Daily Posts on the same day, only your first valid comment for that day will be counted.
If you have already won a prize on an earlier day of the Promotion Period, you are not eligible to win again on a later day, even if you enter again. Only one prize will be awarded per person across the whole Promotion Period.
Entry is completely free. You do not need to buy anything, and there is no cost to enter beyond any internet or data charges you already pay your own provider.
We do not ask you for your name, address or any other personal details in order to enter. We will only ask a winner for these details, as set out in clause 8.
5. Invalid, late or improper entries
We may, acting reasonably, treat an entry as invalid and disregard it if we reasonably believe it is fraudulent, incomplete, automated (for example, generated by a bot), duplicated, offensive, in breach of Facebook's or Instagram's own terms of use, or otherwise does not genuinely comply with these Terms.
Entries received outside the relevant Daily Entry Period will not be counted, even if the delay is not your fault.
If you delete your comment, delete or deactivate your account, or change your settings so that we cannot see your comment or contact you (such as making your account private), before the draw for that day takes place, your entry will not be included in that day's draw.
We may disqualify any person, and hide or remove any comment, if we reasonably believe that person has tampered with the entry process, posted offensive, abusive or harassing content, or otherwise acted unlawfully or in a way that could damage the reputation of the Promoter.
6. Prizes
The prize for each winner is two “Little Sid Seagull” plush toys (each, a Prize). Each Prize is valued at $20.67 (RRP, including GST). There are 50 Prizes in total: 5 Prizes for each Daily Post (that is, 5 on Facebook and 5 on Instagram on each of the 5 days).
The total combined value of all Prizes to be awarded across the Promotion Period is $1,033.50 (in Australian dollars, based on recommended retail price and including GST).
Subject to clause 11.1, Prizes are not transferable or exchangeable, and cannot be redeemed for cash.
If a Prize (or any part of it) becomes unavailable for reasons beyond our control, we may substitute it with a prize of a similar kind and of equal or greater value, subject to any applicable law.
We will only post Prizes to addresses within Australia.
We will send each Prize by standard post to the address provided by the winner within 14 days after we receive the winner's delivery details.
If your Prize (or any part of it) is faulty or arrives damaged, please contact us at competition@cancer.org.au within 30 days of receiving it and we will replace the affected item (or, if it is no longer available, provide an item of a similar kind and of equal or greater value). This does not limit any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
7. How we choose the winners
- For each Daily Post, we will select 5 winners by random computerised draw from all valid entries received on that Daily Post during the relevant Daily Entry Period, at 9.00am (AEDT) on the following day (for example, the winners of Monday's giveaways will be drawn at 9.00am on Tuesday). The draw for the final Daily Post (Friday 20 November 2026) will take place at 9.00am on Monday 23 November 2026.
- Each draw will take place at our office at 300 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010, using a computerised random selection process.
- Our decision as to who has validly entered and who has won a Prize is final. We will act reasonably and in good faith in making that decision.
- Entries for each Daily Post are only eligible for that day's draw and do not carry over to later draws. If fewer than 5 valid entries are received for a Daily Post, each of those valid entries will win a Prize, and the remaining Prizes for that Daily Post will be awarded in the unclaimed prize redraw under clause 8.3, from all valid entries received during the Promotion Period (excluding anyone who has already won a Prize).
8. Telling you if you've won, and claiming your prize
- We will notify each winner by direct message (DM) on the Facebook or Instagram account they used to enter, within 2 business days of the relevant draw.
- To claim your Prize, you must reply to our DM with your full name and Australian postal address within 7 days of us sending it.
- If a winner does not reply within that time, a drawn entry is found not to comply with these Terms, or we are unable to contact them (for example, because their DMs are closed or their account no longer exists), that person forfeits the Prize. Any unclaimed Prize will be awarded in an unclaimed prize redraw, conducted in the same way and at the same place as the original draws, at 9.00am AEDT on Thursday 3 December 2026, from the remaining valid entries for the relevant Daily Post (excluding anyone who has already won a Prize). We will notify any redraw winner in the same way as under clause 8.1, and they must claim the Prize in the same way as under clause 8.2. Any Prize not awarded under clause 7.4, and any unclaimed Prize for a Daily Post that has no remaining valid entries, will instead be drawn from all remaining valid entries received during the Promotion Period (excluding anyone who has already won a Prize).
- We may publish the first name and State or Territory of each winner (or their public social media username) on our Social Media Pages, to announce the results of the Promotion. By accepting a Prize, you consent to this.
- We will only ever contact winners from our official Social Media Pages listed in clause 2.2. We will never ask you to pay any money, provide bank or credit card details or passwords, or click on an external link to claim a Prize. If you receive a message like this claiming to be from us, please do not respond, and report it to the relevant social media platform.
- We may ask a winner (or their parent or guardian) to provide reasonable proof of identity, age or Australian residency before we send a Prize. If this is not provided within the time we reasonably request, the entry may be treated as invalid and the Prize awarded under clause 8.3.
- If a Prize is not won, or a winner cannot be found, we will publish that information on our Social Media Pages.
9. Your personal information
- If you win, we will ask you for your name and postal address by DM, so that we can send you your Prize. We do not collect any personal information from entrants who do not win.
- We only use the personal information you give us as a winner to send you your Prize, and to keep a record that the Prize has been claimed and sent. We do not use it to send you marketing, and we do not share it with anyone else, other than our service providers who help us run the Promotion or deliver Prizes (such as Australia Post or a courier, and our IT and cloud storage providers), or where required or authorised by law. We will securely delete winners' details within 12 months after the end of the Promotion, unless we are required to keep them for longer.
- We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available at https://www.cancer.org.au/privacy-policy, which explains how you can access or correct your information, or make a complaint.
- Because we contact winners through Facebook Messenger or Instagram Direct, your message will pass through and may be stored on servers operated by Meta Platforms, Inc., which are generally located outside Australia. Facebook's and Instagram's own privacy policies also apply to your use of those platforms.
10. Facebook and Instagram
This Promotion is run by the Promoter only. It is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Facebook, Instagram or their parent company, Meta Platforms, Inc. (together, Meta).
Any questions, comments or complaints about the Promotion must be directed to us, not to Meta.
By entering, and to the extent permitted by law, you release Meta from any claim or liability arising from your participation in the Promotion.
Information you provide as part of the Promotion is provided to us, not to Meta.
11. Liability
- Nothing in these Terms limits, excludes or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be limited, excluded or modified under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law.
- Subject to clause 11.1, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss (including indirect or consequential loss), damage, personal injury, or loss of opportunity, however arising, in connection with the Promotion or a Prize (except to the extent caused or contributed to by our negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of these Terms), including where a Prize is lost, delayed or damaged in the post.
- We do not give any express warranty about a Prize beyond what is provided by the manufacturer or supplier of that Prize, and beyond the consumer guarantees referred to in clause 11.1.
12. General
We may vary, suspend or cancel the Promotion, or these Terms, if circumstances arise outside our reasonable control that make it necessary to do so (for example, a technical failure affecting Facebook or Instagram). If we do, we will act fairly, will comply with any direction of a relevant State or Territory authority, and will post a notice on our Social Media Pages.
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
This Promotion does not require a permit or licence in any Australian State or Territory, as the total value of the Prizes is below the level at which a permit or licence is required.
If you have any questions about the Promotion, please contact us through our Social Media Pages or by email at competition@cancer.org.au.
If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and any Daily Post or other material about the Promotion, these Terms prevail.
These Terms are available at https://www.cancer.org.au/nscaw2026/daily-draw-terms, and a link to them will be included in each Daily Post.
