What is Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea?

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is one of Cancer Council WA’s biggest fundraising events.

One Australian is diagnosed with cancer approximately every five minutes, the length of an average tea break. Throughout May and June, we call on West Australians to pop on the kettle and prep the menu for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, to raise vital funds towards support services, prevention programs and life-saving cancer research.

There’s nothing quite like hosting a morning tea – the buzz, the fun, and that wonderful feeling of knowing you’re changing lives with every cuppa!

Every morning tea is different because every host is different. You can choose to host at home, at your workplace, or anywhere in your community – the choice is up to you!

Your morning tea and the important funds you raise will help bring us closer to a cancer free future.

Every cuppa makes a difference

Each of the thousands of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea events that will take place in workplaces, communities, and peoples’ homes, play a vital role in ensuring we can continue to provide a wide range of support services to West Australians impacted by cancer.
