Cancer Hub is a resource funded by the federal government.
Cancer Hub is a single space where families impacted by cancer can easily access the practical and emotional support services they need, when they need.
Cancer doesn’t only affect the person diagnosed, it also affects every member of the family. Although there is a lot of community-based support available to families, it can sometimes be confusing or time-consuming to find out what types of support are available. This is where Cancer Hub steps in.
Families (with children aged 0-25) can easily access a range of cancer support services including:
· Cancer counselling
· Cancer support events
· Financial Assistance
· Family Retreats
Once a call is made to Cancer Hub, specially trained staff take care of the rest by identifying every family members’ needs and helping them access the best support options.
