Brain Tumour Alliance Australia
Brain Tumour Alliance Australia is a volunteer-run not-for-profit organisation that provides peer support to people living with any brain tumour affecting the central nervous system, their carers and loved ones. The alliance provides informational resources for newly diagnosed patients and assists with referrals to appropriate support services. It also operates a free support phone line, which connects callers with someone who knows what it is like to travel the brain tumour journey.The alliance believes that brain tumours represent a neglected illness, which places enormous challenges on the patient and their family, and which requires a unique response and much-increased research effort supported by the community and governments.It has a broad membership and subscriber database that includes health professionals and academics with a particular interest in brain tumours, and works closely with the International Brain Tumour Alliance.
