Cancer Council Daffodil Day

Cancer Council Daffodil Day Cancer Councils throughout Australia are working together to raise funds for vital research and support services.

Donations for Daffodil Day help Cancer Councils in each state and territory to fund world-class cancer research, helping to save lives. Daffodil Day is Cancer Council's most iconic and much-loved fundraising campaign. To Cancer Council, and those affected by cancer, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer free future. 2025 marks the 39th year of Daffodil Day in Australia. Daffodil Day is Thursda

y 21 August 2025, but you can donate or hold a fundraiser at any time throughout August. Daffodil Day is Australia’s day to give to cancer research. People across Australia show their support for the people they know (or even those they don’t know) who have been impacted by cancer. Supporting Daffodil Day will help fund vital cancer research and give hope for a cancer free future.

Last year, Susan and her team in Victoria, the Aspendale Otters, took part in the Daffodil Day Dip in honour of Anne and Ruth, both facing pancreatic cancer.

What started as a small group of locals has grown into a close-knit community, swimming every day through August and supporting each other every step of the way. Their final Dip brought wild weather and crashing waves, but they pushed through, cheered on by their community.

"Being part of a team made all the difference — it kept us connected, motivated and supported."

Together, they raised over $8,000 which was far beyond their goal, showing the power of coming together for a cause that matters.

In April 2024, Vanessa's husband Greg was diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer. In December of that year, he sadly passed away.

Vanessa first signed up to do 10 dips but ended up doing 28! Not bad for someone who wasn't sure if she could do it.

"It was a cathartic experience. It became addictive. I dressed up and had so much fun. I thought of Greg and others with cancer and how hard they fight. I drew strength and motivation from them. I felt close to him every dip I did."

We all have our reasons for signing up for the Dip, what's yours?

For 40 years, Daffodil Day has been a day for all of us to come together against cancer, and continues to give hope to those who are, have been, or are yet to be on a cancer journey.

When Daffodil Day first took root in 1986, cancer survival was just 46%. Today – thanks to the support of the community raising funds for cancer research – survival is now 72%.
