We depend greatly on the support of our volunteers without whom we would not be able to fundraise or conduct our education and awareness programs.
Volunteers fulfil many important roles from helping to sell raffle tickets, setting up marquees and filling educational bags to driving patients to appointments, decorating events and helping at expos and fundraisers.
If you have a little spare time, a lot of energy and a generous soul and are interested in becoming a volunteer for the HMF, please contact us or fill in the form below to express your interest.
With your help, over the past 35+ years, we’ve been working to defeat melanoma—and we know the work we’re doing is making a real difference. But there’s still much more to do.
In the Hunter New England Local Health District, melanoma is now the second most diagnosed cancer (Cancer Institute NSW, February 2024), underscoring the urgent need for continued awareness, early detection, and prevention.
Nationally, melanoma remains the most common cancer among Australians aged 20 to 39. Your donation and ongoing support allow us to continue this life-saving work—funding education programs, supporting patients, and advancing research to reduce the impact of melanoma in our community.
