Support services

Whether you're someone with cancer, a friend, colleague or family member, you can call the Cancer Council Helpline (13 11 20) from anywhere in Victoria to talk with one of our experienced, understanding cancer nurses. They can provide you with reliable information and practical advice on any type or stage of cancer. They can also link you to a range of support services - including cancer survivors who've been through a similar experience - all for the cost of a local call.

You don't have to face cancer alone - we're here to help. Learn more about our range of services below:
