Join the team

Do you want to be part of the team curing childhood cancer? We have opportunities available for experienced and qualified professionals in a number of areas. Get in touch today.

Children’s Cancer Institute would like to acknowledge the Gadigal and Bidigal people as the Traditional Custodians of the unceded land we work on. We pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging; and recognise their cultural and spiritual relationships with the land, water and sea. It is our privilege to learn from their rich contributions to society and science as we work toward finding a cure for all children with cancer.
