Daffodil Day is Cancer Council's most iconic and much loved fundraising campaign.
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.
In 2025, Australians gave a bunch for Daffodil Day, raising over $5 million towards lifesaving cancer research. This year, we would love to have your vital support once more.
Almost 1 in 2 of us will face a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime, so all of us are affected by cancer. 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 saving more lives year-on-year. That's why we're encouraging you to give it your all by participating in the Daffodil Day Dip, registering to fundraise or by donating this Daffodil Day.
Daffodil Day 2026 is Thursday, 20 August but you can get involved and help support this special day any time throughout the month.
For all that cancer takes, give hope this Daffodil Day.
