Chemotherapy Chair

For the community, by the community.

Right now, we're raising funds to purchase a chemotherapy chair for Blackall Hospital, helping bring more comfort and support to locals undergoing cancer treatment.

Living in regional and remote Australia often means long drives, time away from family, and extra stress when accessing healthcare. That's why having quality services and equipment available closer to home matters so much. It means people can receive care surrounded by the community that knows them, supports them, and stands beside them.

This fundraiser is a way of backing local healthcare. It's about making a difficult journey a little easier, and showing that when our community sees a need, we step all up.

So far…

We kicked off this fundraiser at the 2025 Better in Blackall Festival, where auction proceeds, donations and the incredible generosity of our community got us off to a flying start. Combined with a charity triathlon organised by our amazing Sport & Recreation Officer, Natalie, we've raised an incredible $6,000 towards our goal.

Now, we're setting our sights on the final $4,000 needed to purchase the chemotherapy chair for Blackall Hospital.

The next (and final) step!

Nat, the absolute legend, is LITERALLY stepping up! This winter, she'll be tackling an epic 100km run from Blackall to Tambo to help raise the final dollars needed to get this much-needed chair across the line.

You can support Nat by donating or sponsoring her via the link below. For every donation, Better in Blackall will match it dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your contribution.

Whether you can donate a little or a lot, every contribution helps. Together, we can make a real difference for local patients and families when they need it most.

Any funds raised over our target amount will be donated to the Blackall hospital to assist with the space.
