Introduction: Cancer Council SA's vision is for a cancer-free future. To achieve this, we are committed to reducing the rate and impact of cancer for all South Australians through best-practice prevention, research and support and this is a team effort. We have a proud history of working across every aspect of every cancer for more than 90 years, and this is your opportunity to become a part of that history and become a member of SA's most trusted charity. Together, we can all play a part in reducing the impact of cancer.

The Individual Giving team sits within Cancer Council SA's Fundraising unit, working alongside Events and Philanthropy to maximise impact across all income streams.
