Cancer support groups
These cancer support groups have asked that their details be made available on this website. Cancer Council does not directly participate in the running of any of these groups.
If details of any of the support groups listed here have changed, please let Kathriye Strassnick know by email or by phoning Cancer Council Helpline 13 11 20. Cancer support groups allow people going through a similar experience of having cancer to meet together. Most groups are open to the person with cancer and their families and friends.
