About this event

Despite best efforts, supportive care for people affected by cancer has been affected by the pandemic. Thanks to the support of the Victorian Government and public donations, Cancer Council Victoria is increasing capacity to provide cancer support to Victorians affected by cancer and health services alike.

Since the pandemic began, our nurses have responded to more than 25,000 enquiries for help – offering a range of services including psycho-oncology, financial counselling, and peer supports. With our directory of around 500 services across the state, we’re helping people navigate the health system to find the supports they need - from cancer diagnosis, treatment, survival, or end of life.

With our special guest speaker, we invite you to learn more about the services and COVID-19 resources we offer, how we work with health services to complement what you do, the tool kits we can provide to you to facilitate referrals and hear more about what we’re working on next.
