Barely four decades ago, almost 98 children out of 100 children diagnosed with cancer died. Today, over 70 out of 100 children with cancer survive, an impressive testament to the power of medical research. However, despite enormous advances in medical research, three in every ten children diagnosed with cancer still lose their lives. These are the children that Children's Cancer Institute Australia is dedicated to saving.

Children's Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research (CCIA) is the only independent medical research institute in Australia dedicated to research into the causes, prevention, better treatments and ultimately a cure for childhood cancer. Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia, with every year more than 600 children being diagnosed.

Since being established in 1976, the Children’s Cancer Institute of Australia’s vision has been to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering and to be a leader in preventing cancer and finding ways of curing cancer in children through world-class research.

Electrolux shares in this vision and is proud to support the CCIA as their Corporate Charity Partner. Over the past three years Electrolux and its employees have donated more $300,000 helping CCIA fit out their new Lowy Cancer Research Centre to create a start-of-the-art research facility. This partnership is designed to achieve even greater outcomes from investing the donated funds in the CCIA’s research equipment and programs.

Electrolux supports The Children’s Cancer Institute Australia as our major charitable focus and endeavours to assist their journey to bettering the lives of young Australian sufferers and their families.
