About the organisation
Neuroblastoma Australia’s mission is focused on raising awareness and vital funding for neuroblastoma childhood cancer. Neuroblastoma is the leading cause of cancer death of children under 5. Currently treatments are extremely toxic, invasive and only effective in 50% of cases – survivors have lasting side effects from the treatments. In addition to raising funds, the charity provides support to families affected by this devastating disease through providing information on the disease, networking events (conference, zoom groups) and activity sets for children in hospital.
Neuroblastoma Australia is a small charity that was set up by families affected by neuroblastoma. It has grown significantly over the last 10 years and is well positioned to grow further and make more of an impact.
The charity has raised over $2.4 million to date for leading research projects. We are looking for someone keen to join the team and help us make a difference to children diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer.
