We are deeply honoured that John Farnham has chosen Head and Neck Cancer Australia (HANCA) as the charity beneficiary of this one-night-only celebration concert at Rod Laver Arena on 20 September 2026, following his own experience with oral cancer. In recognition of his support, TEG Dainty is making a donation to HANCA to help support our work.

John's openness about his oral cancer journey has helped raise awareness of Head and Neck Cancer and given a voice to thousands of Australians impacted by the disease.

This generous donation, together with funds raised by HANCA through the Lend Your Voice campaign, will help us continue providing free access to specialist nurses, counselling and trusted information for patients and families when they need it most. It will also strengthen our advocacy for earlier diagnosis, better care and improved outcomes for everyone affected by Head and Neck Cancer.
