Grants and funding

Grants and funding opportunities

Cancer Australia administers several grants programs, providing support for cancer research, cancer clinical trials and cancer support networks. We work in partnership with other organisations and groups to ensure the most effective and efficient use of our resources.

All Cancer Australia grant opportunities and grants awarded are published on the Australian Government’s grants information system, GrantConnect  www.grants.gov.au/

At times, as part of our other work programs, we also seek through a Request for Tenders process, to engage outside organisations to undertake specific work on our behalf. Requests for tenders are advertised on the AusTender website and may be advertised in the media.
