Children’s Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to curing childhood cancer.
Located in the Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Sydney, we are a national organisation with partnerships and collaborations all over the world.
Cancer kills more children than any other disease in Australia, so our research is critical. But with the help of our supporters, we believe we will one day reach our goal of curing every child with cancer. It’s not if, it’s when.
Our story
Children's Cancer Institute was established in 1976 by a dedicated group of parents of children with cancer and their doctors. First established as a foundation to fund childhood cancer research, we opened our own research laboratories in 1984. Since then, we have grown to employ more than 300 researchers, students and operational staff and are recognised as one of the leading international child cancer research institutes.
Children’s Cancer Institute exists solely to put an end to childhood cancer. We don’t just hope to do it, we will do it.
