Welcome to the Camp Quality Website!

We are the children’s family cancer charity that believes in bringing optimism and happiness to the lives of children and families affected by cancer through fun therapy. We believe laughter is the best medicine.

At CQ we are one big happy family. Our kids and their families, our staff and volunteers, and our partners, sponsors and donors are all part of the family. Together we help children and their families face the challenging days and celebrate good ones.

We believe in improving the quality of life through unrelenting optimism.

We'd love you to get involved, so check out join CQ, how you can help, or donate now!

Media Statement

You may have seen lolly boxes for Camp Quality in your local shop or businesses over the past couple of years. However, as of 11 May 2010, Camp Quality has dissolved the contract with Help Fund Australia, the provider of these boxes, unfortunately because of unpaid donation money.

As our contract has now been terminated, Help Fund Australia is legally obligated to remove all boxes as they are no longer authorised to fundraise on behalf of Camp Quality.

We appreciate everyone's support. If you would like to donate to Camp Quality in other ways check out what you can do!
