ENGAGING YOUR EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY
Workplace giving
Workplace giving is a simple and tax-effective way for employees to make regular donations to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute directly from their pay. Benefits of getting involved:
- Workplace visits where your staff can hear first-hand from leading scientists about their ground-breaking research.
- Invitations to behind-the-scenes tours of our state-of-the-art facilities.
- Flexibility and choice as employees choose how much they would like to donate each pay cycle.
- Regular updates on how your donations are changing the future of cancer medicine
How it works
The best part of Workplace Giving is that the donation is made from your pre-tax income, so the tax deduction is immediate.
For example, if you nominate a donation of $5 each pay cycle, your chosen charity receives the full $5, and it would cost you less because of the automatic tax deduction. If your employer chooses to dollar-match employee donations, then your generosity goes even further.
Workplace fundraising
Set up your own fundraising event for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute. It can be a fun and rewarding way to engage your staff while making a difference.
Corporate partnerships
Companies can play an important role in supporting their communities, particularly by contributing to research on cancer, a cause that will touch one in every two employees and their families in some way during their lifetime.
Corporate partnerships with the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute provide meaningful opportunities for companies to make a difference to the lives of patients.
We encourage long-term strategic partnerships that help advance the core mission of your organisation and our own: to create a future where cancer care is more effective, tolerable and accessible.
- Co-branded communications to highlight the partner company’s relationship and support.
- Product launch activations, including live events and promotional strategies, to bring a new product to market while highlighting the collaboration with the institute.
- For-purpose product sales, where a portion of revenue is donated to cancer research at the institute.
Aligning your commercial activities and corporate values with our purpose can engage employees, customers and communities while helping accelerate the development of more precise, more tolerable and more accessible cancer therapies.

Why medical research matters
Medical research institutes are among Australia’s highest-return investments. They can lead to new treatments, improve patient care and quality of life, and deliver long-term benefit to the community.
Independent analysis shows that every $1 invested in medical research returns approximately $3.90 to the Australian economy through healthier communities, increased productivity and lower healthcare costs.
Clinical trials deliver even greater returns, generating around $5.80 for every dollar invested, while giving patients earlier access to breakthrough treatments.
For businesses in Melbourne’s rapidly growing northern region, investing in a globally recognised cancer research institute in your area means investment in your community.
