The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) is growing!

Three exciting new roles are now open across fundraising and community development, donor engagement and events, and corporate partnerships.

Organisational Overview

Established in 2000, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) has grown to become Australia’s leading independent body dedicated to funding national ovarian cancer research.

With the support of the Australian community, major corporate partners, philanthropic supporters, and the extraordinary OCRF Ambassadors, the OCRF is now Australia’s pre-eminent charitable foundation dedicated to raising funds for the most innovative ovarian cancer research with the most significant long-term impact.

Our goals are to raise the current 5-year survival rate from (a dismal) 49% to greater than 90%, and to provide hope, advocacy, agency and engagement for our community of survivors – with government, funders, collaborators, partners and the medical research community.

We are:

• Investing in medical research to develop a reliable and non-invasive early detection test, where no such test currently exists.
• Supporting researchers focused on personalised treatment options to extend the quality and duration of the lives of people with ovarian cancer.
• Focused on prevention and, ultimately, cure, of the most lethal and underfunded gynaecological cancer for women, girls, and all people with ovaries.

Senior Partnerships Coordinator

The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) is seeking a passionate and dynamic relationship builder to fill the newly created role of Senior Partnerships Coordinator.

Working within the Philanthropy & Corporate Partnerships team, and closely with the Marketing & Fundraising Team, the successful candidate will be responsible for fostering strong and engaged relationships with corporate supporters of all sizes to grow their contribution to ovarian cancer research in Australia.

The Senior Partnerships Coordinator will be critical to the successful implementation of the OCRF’s new corporate donor network, and the ongoing growth of organisational and campaign-specific corporate partners.
