Gifts In Wills
Create an enduring legacy aligned with your values
Giving based on your values
“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why”. Mark Twain
Throughout our lives, we make multiple decisions, tread many paths and seek to make an impact in this world.
Many of our donors share a deep connection to our purpose and understand the importance of community, being part of something bigger than themselves and often will have or had a lived experience of cancer either individually, or within their circle of family, friends and colleagues.
Be it a dedication to someone who benefits from our service, a tribute to someone you have lost or an enduring gift towards someone in the future – a Will is an opportunity to create a meaningful difference.
A Will enables you to decide how your life’s work and assets will positively impact the ones you love and causes you believe in.
Cancer Wellness Support is committed to improving the lives of individuals and their families living with cancer, and providing a compassionate and nurturing community. We believe in a person-centred approach, where empathy, inclusivity, and affordability are at the heart of everything we do.
You can understand how we do this, captured in our Theory of Change.
Our focus is to support individuals and their loved ones living with cancer with the knowledge, coping skills, and resilience to navigate their journey with confidence and strength. By addressing all types of cancer, we strive to alleviate feelings of isolation and foster strong social support networks to create a profound sense of belonging.

Suggested wording for your Will
Your solicitor or trustee is best to advise on the exact words to ensure your wishes are honoured. Here is some sample wording for your consideration to update your Will or add as an additional clause in an addendum:
I give to Cancer Wellness Support (ABN 67 202 763):
- the sum of $; or
- the rest and residue of my estate; or
- X percent of the rest and residue of my estate
for its general purposes free of all duties and taxes payable upon or in consequence of my death and I declare that the receipt of its Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer or other authorised officer will be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors and trustees who will not be obliged to enforce the application of the gift.
Tax implications of leaving a gift in your Will
The taxation implications vary across states and territories. To ensure your will is structured in accordance with your wishes and to ensure you understand the specific tax implications for your estate, please speak to your solicitor or accountant for tailored advice for your individual situation.
We would love to provide more details with a physical bequest form that may assist you with your discussions, real life stories on how our programs have made a difference and with your gift, how this heartfelt support will continue.
If you do not have a solicitor, or prefer not to pursue that as an option
