We need your help!

BTAA is powered by volunteers - people who care about improving the lives of those affected by brain cancer. We’re looking for members who can give some time or skills to help with a few key projects.

Right now, we’d especially love help with:
- Social media and communications – help us share stories and raise awareness
- Fundraising – support our community to make a difference

If you have time, skills, or ideas to offer, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at enquiries@btaa.org.au to find out more.

Every bit of help makes a difference.

One month ago, we gathered at Parliament House Canberra for Head to the Hill 2025.

Together we raised awareness of the high unmet need in brain cancer. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Our asks remains clear: more funding for research and trials, clinical care, and support services.

Professor Richard Scolyer AO - My Uncertain Path sees how strong this community is when we come together.

At HeadToTheHill2025, researchers, clinicians, patients, families and advocates came together with a shared purpose: to drive change and demand better outcomes for all Australians affected by brain cancer.

When we unite, we’re impossible to ignore.

We look forward to working with you too, Mark Butler MP.

At Head to the Hill, we presented The Australian Brain Cancer Landscape to Government, with key asks for research, clinical care and support for everyone affected by brain cancer in Australia.

Together, we can ensure brain cancer remains a national health priority.

Thank you Kristy McBain MP for standing with Ketzia, and all of us. It was a pleasure to have you at Head to the Hill this year.

We ask you to continue to stand with us as advocate for our community. See out Landscape Report that outlines our key asks of government: https://btaa.org.au/news/latest-news/new-research-brain-cancers-impact-society

I had the pleasure of meeting Ketzia and her mum, a courageous constituent who lives with a complex brain tumour at the Brain Tumour Alliance Australia (BTAA)'s Head to the Hill event at Parliament House.

Ketzia's story is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for greater investment in brain tumour research and better support for patients navigating this difficult journey.

Ketzia’s voice, and the voices of so many others in our community, deserve to be heard. I’m proud to stand with them and advocate for stronger policy, and improved services for Australians affected by brain tumours.

Thank you for your strength and advocacy Ketzia. 💜
