The Leukaemia Foundation is the only national organisation dedicated to the care and cure of patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. We have offices in every state and territory across Australia.

Our Mission to Care

We support patients and families by providing cost-free services including patient transport to and from treatment, fully-furnished accommodation located near major hospitals for regional and rural patients, counselling, emotional support, disease education, and practical support.

How we are supported

We receive no ongoing government funding, and rely on the generous support of our corporate supporters and the community. All donations are gratefully accepted.
