Corporate Partnerships Manager

About Us

Cancer Council Queensland is the state’s largest non‑government cancer organisation, standing alongside Queenslanders in a united fight against cancer. Our mission is simple but powerful: to lead a partnership that brings communities, researchers, health professionals and supporters together to reduce the impact of cancer on people’s lives. Founded in 1961 as the Queensland Cancer Fund, we have grown into a trusted leader in cancer research, prevention and support. Every day, our work helps prevent cancer before it starts, detect it earlier, improve treatment outcomes and ensure people affected by cancer receive the care and support they need, wherever they live. As a not‑for‑profit organisation, everything we achieve is made possible by the generosity of our community. With their support, we are driving progress across the entire cancer journey — from prevention and research through to survivorship and support — so that all Queenslanders can face cancer with hope, dignity and strength.
