Cancer Education Programs (CEP) 2024 schedule

Our  Cancer Education Programs (CEP) are group based supportive care and education programs developed for those affected by cancer, their carers, families and friends. The programs provide information, education, practical strategies and the opportunity for participants to connect with others affected by cancer. We offer two programs to support people as they move through their cancer experience – the Managing Cancer and Cancer Wellness programs. Programs are co-facilitated by two health professionals working in the cancer field, who are trained by Cancer Council Victoria to deliver these programs in their health service.

For more information about an upcoming program please contact the health service directly, or email cep@cancervic.org.au
