Federal parliamentarians took part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea at Parliament House, Canberra, to raise money for Cancer Council Australia.

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is an annual fundraising event to raise money and support for Cancer Council Australia and its work.

This year’s goal is to raise over $12 million to fund further research, prevention, and support services for those affected by cancer.

Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP, says Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a tremendous campaign to support those affected by cancer and their families.

“I wish to thank every person who has contributed to this year’s fundraising goal and those who have hosted a morning tea at their home, workplace, or community organisation”, Dr Reid said.

“It is great to be able to bring people together, share stories, have a laugh, and enjoy a cup of tea, while raising funds for an important cause”.

“1 in 2 Australians are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, and funds raised for Cancer Council Australia go directly into research, prevention, and support services for those affected”, Dr Reid said.

This year’s campaign has seen almost $4.7 million raised across 21,712 mornings teas.

You can help support the campaign for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea by hosting a morning tea during May and June.
