Under 18s
Youth Policy
The Cancer Council requires that every person under the age of 18 must have approval by a parent or guardian to register for and participate in Relay For Life events.
Youth Teams
Cancer Council Tasmania requires that teams where the majority of members are under 18 must have two registered adult supervisors present at all times throughout the Relay For Life event. Youth Team Supervisors must be over 21 years of age and are responsible for the behaviour and conduct of the youth they oversee.
Code of Conduct for Youth Teams
We want all participants to enjoy their Relay For Life experience. Common sense is key to everyone having a good time. This means considering and being respectful of the needs of other participants, abiding by the event rules and complying with all reasonable requests from members of the organising committee or Cancer Council Tasmania staff.
Where the money goes
Here's how you're making a difference
$10 Helps us to provide free exercise programs to assist cancer patients in building strength and fitness during treatment.
$30 Helps transport cancer patients to and from their treatment.
$50 Helps our cancer support line 13 11 20 provide free and confidential support on all aspects of cancer.
$200 Adds a wig to our library for lending to clients who are experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatment.
Seize the Day Educational Scholarship
Your money also allows us to offer our Seize the Day Educational Scholarships. For more information, please read the following document, Seize the Day - Supporting young Tasmanians impacted by cancer.
How we helped in the last year
$5.8 million+ has been invested into cancer research over the past 26 years.
253,892 is the number of times our prevention messages were seen online by Tasmanians.
66,800 Tasmanian children (and their families) are part of the SunSmart program in childcare and schools across the state.
500+ wigs are now available to those experiencing hairloss due to cancer treatment
$30,000 of Seize the Day Scholarships were awarded to 29 brave young people who have been impacted by cancer.
238,000km's were covered by our transport2treatment drivers - that's the equivalent of driving around the world nearly 6 times!
Thank you for enabling us to empower and support Tasmanians impacted by cancer since 1995.
