I have a young daughter, Mollie. I want her and her friends to be able to grow up and have a test for ovarian cancer as part of their regular health check-up. I don’t want them to fear this, and that is my motivation for spreading the word about signs and symptoms, and raising money for research. It’s not going to save my life, but it might just save hers or one of her friends’.”

Your donation to the OCRF supports ovarian cancer research projects across improved treatments, managing recurrence, early detection, and prevention & cure.
These are the four key research pillars that the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation focuses on funding with generous contributions from the community and government.
Developing more effective, gentler treatment options that can be personalised to each individual’s ovarian cancer..
Developing an accurate, non-invasive and accessible early detection test to ensure ovarian cancer can be diagnosed in the early stages, when survival chances are highest.
Reducing disease prevalence through preventative and risk-based research - exploring the ability to ‘prevent’ ovarian cancer, similar to results delivered in other gynaecological cancers.
Identifying the cause of recurrence and developing tools to monitor, measure and prevent disease recurrence.
The OCRF directs your donation to the most innovative ovarian cancer research projects around Australia, with the greatest potential for impact. With your support, we are growing the funding pool available for our brightest scientists tackling ovarian cancer in the lab.
