More information
The Oncology Children’s Foundation (OCF) is an Australian charity dedicated to finding cures for specific childhood cancers. We raise money to fund research programs with the sole objective of finding cures for childhood cancers with the lowest survival rates. The fight to find cures for childhood cancer is one of medicine’s greatest success stories. Fifty years ago only two percent of children with cancer survived. That figure has now risen to 80 percent. A sustained and growing investment in research is allowing earlier diagnosis, better treatments and fewer side effects. OCF is focused on finding cures for particular childhood cancers such as Brain Tumours and Neuroblastoma. Almost half of children with these types of cancer lose their battle. This is an outcome that OCF is determined to improve by funding some of Australia’s best childhood cancer researchers. We are committed to giving every child with cancer the opportunity to grow up and live their dreams.
