Welcome to the Oncology Children's Foundation (OCF) website

In Australia today more children die of oncology related conditions than any other disease. During 2006 over 700 Australian children under the age of 16 were diagnosed with cancer. 30 years ago most children with cancer died, now 75% can be cured permanently. This dramatic improvement is the result of an increase in the amount of money being directed into research.

Today's research is tomorrow's medicine

The Oncology Children's Foundation (OCF) is a not-for-profit children's charity dedicated to helping sick and critically ill children suffering from cancer, leukaemia and other serious cancer related illnesses.

OCF is the only Australian children's charity exclusively devoted to raising funds for medical research into childhood cancers at the Children's Hospital, Westmead.

100% of the net funds raised by OCF are donated to the Oncology Research Unit (ORU) at the Children's Hospital.

The strength of the research program is dependent on your support. Please act now.
