About your environment Cancer Council Victoria is an independent charity that has been leading the fight against cancer since 1936.

Cancer Council Victoria undertakes three important aspects of cancer control — research, prevention and support for people with cancer, their families and friends. The Fundraising and Communications Division (FCD) is responsible for ensuring Cancer Council maintains a visible, engaging presence in the community; and to inspire and activate support from the Victorian public. The Relay for Life (RFL) program raises over $5 million per year in Victoria through a model of volunteer engagement which is community owned, volunteer led and staff supported. The program seeks to deliver a meaningful experience to supporters and the team is responsible for ensuring that community experience is fostered and developed and that participants are deeply engaged with RFL as a fundraising program of the organisation.
