Did you know that almost 50% of Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85? Every year, over a million Australians gather to share a cuppa and raise money for cancer research and support services through Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Organised by Cancer Council, it’s one of the country’s biggest and most iconic fundraising events—and it’s more than just tea and treats. It’s a nationwide movement to bring hope to those affected by cancer. If you’re wondering how to get involved or when it’s happening in 2025, here’s everything you need to know.
Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is a nationwide fundraising event organised by Cancer Council. Every year, thousands of Australians come together to share a cuppa, enjoy some treats, and raise vital funds for cancer research and support services. The event is all about community, connection, and making a meaningful difference—one biscuit, slice, or cupcake at a time.
Whether you go all out with decorations, games, and an elaborate spread or keep things simple with tea and cupcakes, every dollar you raise helps support Australians impacted by cancer.
The funds raised go directly towards Cancer Council's services that offer practical, emotional, and financial support to people affected by cancer. This includes programs such as free accommodation for regional patients, counselling, and transport to treatment.
Money raised also helps fund life-saving cancer research. Cancer Council is the largest non-government funder of cancer research in Australia, working toward better treatments and prevention strategies that save lives.
Hosting a morning tea spreads awareness about cancer and helps start conversations that lead to early detection, prevention, and support. It’s a way to bring people together for a shared cause and make a lasting impact.
For many, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a time to remember and honour friends and family members who have been affected by cancer. Sharing stories over a cuppa creates moments of connection, support, and reflection.
The official date for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea 2025 is Thursday, 22 May. But the good news? You can host your event on any date throughout May or June that works best for you.
Australia's Biggest Morning Tea started in 1994 in New South Wales, when a small group of people gathered to raise funds for cancer. The idea quickly grew, and now it's one of the country's most loved fundraising events, with thousands of hosts and participants across the nation.
