Free Support - Can We Help?
After a diagnosis of cancer, the world changes. Whether it’s small jobs around the house, getting out to do errands or finding transport to get to or from appointments, we can help with:
- Practical help – finding transport, food or medication deliveries
- Arranging for cleaning, gardening, jobs around the house or legal assistance
- General companionship, and getting out for shopping, errands, walks, or a coffee
- Help finding other support services.

Support is Vital
Following a cancer diagnosis it is important a person establishes a support network of family and friends to help them manage their way through the many unknowns, to find community services and get the support they need.
Research shows that a person with cancer who is well supported and has their needs addressed will experience lower rates of anxiety, mood disorders, nausea, vomiting and pain.
They also have a significantly better knowledge about their cancer and the treatment options, and better outcomes.
