Funds raised from Dry July in 2025 helped Rare Cancers Australia continue to provide truly personalised, unique support for people diagnosed with rare and less common cancers.

Our team of dedicated Specialist Cancer Navigators do whatever it takes to ease the burden of a rare cancer diagnosis. They connect people with information, treatment options, peer support and other services, as well as providing a steady presence and listening ear through every stage of a cancer diagnosis, treatment and beyond.

Demand for our support continues to grow. In our Cancer Lived Experience Survey conducted last year, 60% of respondents with a rare or less common cancer said they would have liked access to a supportive care navigator. However, just 24% accessed this type of support.

The generosity of people who participated in Dry July, and their donors, has helped us continue to grow our patient support programs and reach more people when they need someone in their corner.

Throughout 2025, we:

• provided personalised support to 1,920 people with rare and less common cancers, and their families

• linked 460 patients and families with relevant support and services across the country

• connected more than 3,000 people through our range of peer support groups.
