Support services

Cancer Council Victoria provides a range of free information and support services to help you manage the impact of cancer.

You can speak with an experienced and understanding Cancer Council nurse for a confidential conversation about anything cancer related.

This may include:

• Access to information
• Connect with support services for financial, legal, workplace, transport, accommodation and respite needs
• Find out about one-on-one or group support from others who’ve been through similar experiences (over the phone, online or in person)

You can access these services whether you have cancer, have had it in the past, or are concerned about your cancer risk. Family, friends and colleagues are  welcome to call for information and support.

Call 13 11 20 or email a cancer nurse to find out more.
