Telephone Support Groups for cancer patients and carers

Telephone support groups offer support and information to adults affected by cancer, including patients, their families and carers.

We've run groups for over a decade, connecting hundreds of people.

Why join?

Wherever you are in Australia, you can:

• talk with people who are in a similar situation
• share experiences and information
• give and receive support
• share practical tips, tools and strategies.

How do groups work?

• each group has 3-7 members and two trained facilitators.
• groups get together over the phone twice a month. Each session lasts an hour.
• participation is flexible -- it's okay to skip sessions when you need to.
• it's free and confidential.
