About Cancer Hub
Cancer Hub is a one stop shop where families impacted by cancer can easily access the practical and emotional support services they need, when they need.
Cancer doesn’t only affect the person diagnosed, it also affects every member of the family. Although there is a lot of community-based support available to families, it can sometimes be confusing or time-consuming for families to find out what types of support are available to them. This is where Cancer Hub steps in.
Canteen, Camp Quality and Redkite are working together to provide Cancer Hub as part of the Child and Youth Cancer Alliance.
Getting support has never been easier
Families (with children aged 0-25) can easily access a range of cancer support services including cancer counselling, cancer support events and more with just one phone call – all they need to do is get in touch.
Once a call is made to Cancer Hub, our specially trained staff will take care of the rest by identifying every family members’ needs and helping them access the best support options for them.
To access support, get in touch and we'll look after the rest
