Relay For Life Volunteer Roles - Statewide

For over 25 years, communities across Tasmania have come together to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones, and fight back against cancer. Relay For Life is a movement, a community of like-minded survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and participants who believe that the future can be free from cancer.

Each Relay For Life is led by a passionate group of volunteers from the local community, strongly supported by Cancer Council Tasmania staff. Volunteers are a key part of Relay for Life — without volunteers, Relay wouldn't be the successful event it is!

Would you like to be part of the fun in 2026?

We’re looking for volunteers to help with set-up, pack down, marshalling, registrations, merchandise, mascots and many other important activities at the following events:

Launceston - 14 March

Penguin - 21 March

Hobart - 28 March

Circular Head - 28 March

Sorell - 30 May

There’s no limit to the time you can donate - whether it’s a couple of hours or a couple of days — any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Every volunteer plays a vital role in making Relay a success.

Interested? Fill out the Event Volunteer Application form above - we’ love to hear from you!
