polytec in Support of the McGrath Foundation

Help us raise funds to ensure that no one misses out on care.

Since 2018, polytec has proudly partnered with the McGrath Foundation, working alongside our business sponsors to raise vital funds that help place McGrath Cancer Care Nurses in communities across Australia. Through this partnership, all funds raised through our sponsorship program go directly to the McGrath Foundation. These efforts have raised an incredible $869,786.58 to date.

A cancer diagnosis can change your life in an instant, and the impact can be felt right through your family, friends, and community.

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses provide clinical, psychosocial and emotional support to people with any type of cancer throughout their treatment.

With close to 1 in 2 people in Australia likely to be diagnosed with cancer, we need your support to ensure no one misses out on care.

Join us in raising funds for this great cause!

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses provide expert care and support to people and their families experiencing any type of cancer for free right across Australia.

People. Community. Support. Care For All Takes A Nation.

polytec is proud to support the McGrath Foundation’s Care for all takes a nation campaign, bringing our customers, supporters and communities together behind one shared purpose: helping ensure no one goes through cancer without care.

As the McGrath Foundation expands its world class nursing care to support people experiencing any type of cancer, more nurses, funding and community support are needed to make care available to more people and families across Australia.

Because care for all takes all of us.

Proudly Supporting the McGrath Foundation Since 2018

Since partnering with the McGrath Foundation in 2018, polytec, together with our customers and supporters, has raised more than $860,000 to help fund McGrath Cancer Care Nurses across Australia.

What began as a partnership has grown into a nationwide community of supporters who share our commitment to making a meaningful difference.

Through sponsorships, fundraising initiatives and community events, every contribution has helped support the McGrath Foundation in providing free care to people experiencing cancer and their families.

Celebrating Our Supporters

At the heart of what we have achieved is our incredible network of polytec McGrath Foundation supporters.

Businesses across Australia have joined us in supporting the Foundation, helping raise funds and awareness within their own communities. Their ongoing commitment has played an important role in helping us reach more than $860,000 raised since 2018.

During Care for all takes a nation, we want to recognise and thank every supporter who has contributed to this journey. Each business, donation and fundraising effort demonstrates what can be achieved when a community comes together for a shared purpose.

Meet our McGrath Foundation supporters and discover the businesses helping us make a difference across Australia.

Together Towards $1 Million

Our next milestone is $1 million raised for the McGrath Foundation.

Reaching more than $860,000 is something we are incredibly proud of, but there is still more to achieve. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal and helps the McGrath Foundation continue expanding its care to people experiencing all cancers.

Care for all takes a nation is an opportunity to celebrate how far we have come, recognise the supporters who have helped make it possible and encourage even more people to join us.

It takes our supporters. It takes our customers. It takes our communities.

It takes a nation.

Together, we can help ensure no one goes through cancer without care.

Dan & Kelly

When Dan was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2024, his family suddenly found themselves navigating a complex medical system with no single point of contact. As appointments, treatments and specialist advice quickly piled up, Dan and his wife Simone were left trying to coordinate everything themselves while supporting their two teenage daughters.

After months of treatment, Dan's cancer returned, this time spreading to his liver. Around the same time, the McGrath Foundation expanded its support to people affected by all cancers. That is when Dan met his McGrath Cancer Care Nurse, Kelly Baxter.

Kelly became the family's trusted guide, helping coordinate Dan's care, providing expert clinical advice and offering emotional support to the entire family. She also helped Simone navigate difficult conversations with their children and connected Dan with support for his mental health during treatment.

Reflecting on Kelly's impact, Dan says:

"The difference in care was honestly incredible. I don't know how to describe it. It's life changing."

Today, Dan continues his treatment with the confidence of knowing he has an experienced advocate by his side. His family's story highlights the incredible difference a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse can make, providing clarity, compassion and hope during one of life's most challenging journeys.

Angelique & Sam

At just 24 years old, Angelique's life changed overnight when she discovered a lump during a routine self check. Within weeks, she was facing a breast cancer diagnosis, urgent fertility decisions, chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, challenges few people her age ever expect to face.

Throughout her treatment, Angelique was supported by her partner, family and, most importantly, her McGrath Cancer Care Nurse, Sam Moules. Sam became a constant source of reassurance, providing both clinical expertise and emotional support during every stage of Angelique's journey. Whether answering medical questions, coordinating care or simply being there to listen, Sam helped Angelique feel understood, informed and never alone.

Reflecting on her experience, Angelique says:

"Sam was my first point of contact for everything. She was my soundboard, always available when I needed her. She made me feel so at ease and always validated how I was feeling."

Today, Angelique is rebuilding her life and using her experience to help raise awareness for others facing cancer. Her story is a powerful reminder of the life changing impact McGrath Cancer Care Nurses have on individuals and families across Australia.

Help Make Stories Like Angelique's Possible

Every donation made through polytec's partnership with the McGrath Foundation helps fund McGrath Cancer Care Nurses, ensuring more Australians affected by cancer receive free expert care and support when they need it most.

polytec's Ongoing Support of the McGrath Foundation - 20 Years of Care

polytec first partnered with the McGrath Foundation in 2018 after searching for a charity partner that makes a direct and meaningful difference in people’s lives. As a proudly family Australian owned brand, we have always been passionate about giving back to the community.

Through the generosity of our team, customers, and valued business sponsors, polytec has hosted and supported numerous fundraising initiatives – from morning teas and information nights, to charity runs and race days. We also integrate support into our everyday business that encourage customers to contribute.

Since 2018, these efforts have raised an incredible $673,011.04 to date – funds that have gone directly toward placing McGrath Cancer Care Nurses in communities across Australia.

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses provide free physical, psychological, and emotional support to individuals and their families, guiding them through the challenges of diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. With around 1 in 2 Australians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, the need for this support has never been greater.

“This is a huge result and something that polytec is extremely proud of. Partnering with the McGrath Foundation has positively impacted our business, our customer base, and most importantly, the lives of those who need care. It’s also opened many conversations with staff, suppliers and customers who have been personally affected by cancer.” comments by Christina Elvin, Head of polytec.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to our customers, business sponsors and community who make this possible. Together, we are helping to place more McGrath Cancer Care Nurses across Australia, bringing comfort and compassion to countless families.
