Cancer Council Victoria

Cancer Council Victoria Cancer Council Victoria is a cancer charity committed to preventing cancer, empowering people and saving lives. Prevent Cancer. Empower Patients. Save Lives.

Every year, more than 30,500 Victorians will be diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 11,000 will die from cancer. The number of cases will increase as our population grows and ages. Survival will also improve as we get better at early detection and treatment of cancer. Since our establishment in 1936, Cancer Council Victoria has developed an international reputation for our innovative work in cancer

research, prevention and support. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, we play a leading role in reducing the impact of all cancers on all people.

Today is a day to give hope for all of us affected by cancer.

It’s about rallying together and supporting people who have faced cancer head-on and honouring those lost too soon.

We’re brought together by the many ways cancer has touched our lives but also by the hope we find in cancer research that’s making more lifesaving discoveries year-on-year.

For all that cancer takes, give hope this .

Bring home hope this Daffodil Day! 💛

When you purchase daffodils from a Daffodil Day flower stall this week, you're helping fund life saving cancer research.

To keep your blooms looking their best, we recommend:
🌼Trimming the stems with a straight cut
🌼Placing your flowers in shallow water and changing the water every 2-3 days for longer lasting blooms
🌼Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources

Your daffodils may not be fully open at first. Simply pop them in a vase of water and watch those buds transform!

💡 A handy tip: daffodils are best displayed on their own, mixing daffodils with other flowers can affect their longevity.

New AIHW data shows daily smoking in Australia has fallen to a historic low, with 5.6% of Australians aged 14+ smoking daily in 2025.

While this is important progress, there is still more work to do.

1.2 million Australians are still smoking, and one in four people aged 18-24 used a ni****ne product in the past year.

If you smoke, v**e or use ni****ne products, support is available. You don’t have to quit alone.

Doug joined a Daffodil Day Dip team at his local pool in honour of his mum who is a cancer survivor and two friends who have died from cancer.

“[The whole experience] was marvellous, fun, but a little emotional at times,” he said. “My friend Ben passed away on 8 August and of course, that anniversary falls during the fundraising period. I cried in the water that day.”

The Daffodil Day Dip has quickly become a beloved tradition for Australians affected by cancer and many more who are ready to take on the challenge for a good cause. It may be chilly and a little uncomfortable, but the act of dipping is bringing people together in solidarity and support while raising vital funds for cancer research.

As Doug says: “Don’t be shy. Every effort is appreciated. Every dollar makes a difference. The number of dips or the amount raised is irrelevant.”

Vanessa is doing the Daffodil Day Dip again this year in honour of her husband, Greg who she lost to cancer in late 2024.

She says Greg was a “loving, generous, humble gentleman” who was very at home in nature. By his side until the very end, Vanessa was Greg’s advocate and support person through his very difficult cancer journey.

Nine months later, Vanessa had signed up to do the Daffodil Day Dip. She didn’t know if she could do it, but she signed up to do 10 dips anyway – eventually doing 28! Through this she found a community of other dippers and a support network she could share her experience with.

“My hope, like most people, is that a cure is found for all types of cancer. Until then, treatment options increase and are more effective,” says Vanessa.

“For those of you thinking about doing the Dip, I’d say sign up!"
