Cancer Council Tasmania

IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND THAT THE IMPACTS CAN BE FAR-REACHING AND POTENTIALLY LIFE CHANGING. AT CANCER COUNCIL TASMANIA, WE PROVIDE INFORMATION AND SUPPORT FOR ANYONE IMPACTED BY CANCER – INCLUDING PEOPLE WITH A DIAGNOSIS, THEIR PARTNERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.

Our Support Centres are welcoming spaces where it’s safe to share your concerns and receive compassion and guidance from our Cancer Support team. Our services include individual support, cancer support groups, information, and links to relevant community services. We offer a wig library, transport to treatment and complementary therapies – including oncology massage, yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates. All our services are free and available for any Tasmanian impacted by cancer. For more information, please call 1300 65 65 85 – we’re here if you need us. The Cancer Prevention team at Cancer Council Tasmania delivers information sessions to workplaces and community groups to help people reduce their cancer risk. Our team operates state-wide with a focus on providing people with relevant information, so they can make their own decisions about their health. The team provide tips and strategies to make changes around things like diet and exercise, and information on when to get things checked out by a GP.

Sessions are delivered in an inclusive, nonjudgmental way and we are happy to tailor sessions to suit audience needs. To discuss an information session for your group or workplace, please send us an email to prevention@cancertas. org.au or give the team a call on 1300 65 65 85.
