Words are powerful. They can change the experience of life for a child facing the trauma of cancer. The right words, in the right place, at the right time can inspire someone to fundraise, let a family know what support is out there for them, and shine a light on the stories of families impacted by cancer in Australia.

If you are an experienced fundraising copywriter with a sharp editing eye who is confident across digital and print processes, this is the job for you.

We start meetings with Fun Therapy to create laughter and positive emotions. The positivity for life that we bring to our families is just as important in our work life.
