Find Cancer Early Tasmania

Find Cancer Early is our latest campaign, which aims to raise symptom awareness of some of the most common cancers affecting Tasmanians. Cancer survival outcomes for people living in regional Australia are, on average, 20-30 percent worse than Australians living in metropolitan areas. Take the time to learn the early symptoms of cancer. It might just save your life.

Relay For Life

Relay For Life is not just an event, it’s an experience that leaves last memories. ‘Relay’ is a 20-hour overnight event that participants of all ages can contribute (as a team) to walk and Celebrate journeys won, to walk and Remember loved ones or to walk and support & Fight Back against cancer through fundraising. It is these 3 aspects of ‘Relay’ that connect community together to share a common interest on one weekend every year.

Since 2001, 103,000 Tasmanians have participated in 82 events raising over $14.7million.
