Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation

We are determined to give every person with cancer the best possible chance of survival, so we take action by raising funds for life-saving cancer research at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia’s only public hospital solely dedicated to cancer, and the home of Australia’s largest cancer research group. Because Peter Mac’s 400 laboratory researchers are embedded within the hospital environment, they are uniquely placed to translate research discoveries as quickly as possible into real treatments for cancer patients.

By donating to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, you can play a crucial role in advancing the search for cancer cures. While Peter Mac’s internationally recognised cancer researchers have success in securing competitive project grants, these grants rarely fund new innovative projects or the state-of-the-art technologies and resources needed to undertake research projects.

Whether you make a donation, include us in your Will, support us with a regular monthly gift, or fundraise for us through events like the OneDay to Conquer Cancer, your donation will help give some of the brightest minds in cancer research the resources and specialised technologies they need to make important new cancer discoveries. You will also help meet the most pressing research needs identified by Peter Mac’s most senior leaders.

On 23 June, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre relocated to the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre, a new $1 billion facility purpose-built for cancer research, treatment, education and care.
