Kids’ Guide to Cancer
Camp Quality’s Kids’ Guide to Cancer platform and app provides engaging, age-appropriate cancer information for kids.

It covers all the important topics including what is cancer, types of cancer, people who help, medicines and hospitals and incudes friendly animations tell the stories of kids who are facing cancer.
The content is presented in five languages; English, Hindi, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Arabic to ensure Australia’s multi-cultural community can access this resource in their first language to make talking about cancer even easier for parents or grandparents for whom English is not their first language.
