Under 18s

Parent or Guardian

If you are under 18 years of age, you are required to have a parent or guardian complete a Parental Consent Form before the event. This form will be emailed to you upon registration.

Failure to complete the form will mean you are unable to attend the Relay for Life event.
*There will be limited registrations available on the day.

Youth Team Supervisors

All participants under 18 years of age are required to have a supervisor over the age of 21 present with their team for the duration of the event. You must register your supervisor by completing the Youth Supervisor Form that is emailed to you upon registering a youth. It is the responsibility of the parent, guardian, team captain or youth to ensure the youth supervisor has completed this form. If a youth team attends Relay For Life without the required number of supervisors over the age of 21, the team will not be able to participate. Please note that for youth teams, you must have 1 supervisor per 10 youth participants.

If the youth team consists of more than 10 youth participants, Cancer Council Victoria requires that two adult supervisors be present at all times throughout the Relay For Life event.

Survivors & Carers

add remove

Relay for Life is a time for our community to come together and celebrate cancer survivors, remember those who are no longer with us and fight back against cancer.

If you or anyone you love has ever heard the words "You have cancer", you know how much it affects us and the people around us. None of us should ever have to face cancer alone, so whether you’re a Survivor, Carer or even a Fighter, getting involved in your local Relay for Life can introduce you to others who are facing similar challenges and create opportunities for sharing stories, friendship, and hope.

To acknowledge your journey through cancer, you’re invited to be our Guest of Honour at Relay for Life. Register Now to walk in the Survivors, Fighters and Carers Lap of Honour or just come along for the celebrations!

If you are having trouble registering, please contact our support team – Grant Stutsel – 1300 65 65 85 | [email protected]
