Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and families

You’re in the right place.

Cancer Hub is here for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, parents and families affected by cancer. Whatever’s brought you here today, we’re glad you found us.

GET SUPPORT TODAY

Three organisations. One conversation.

Cancer Hub brings together three organisations that support children, young people and families impacted by cancer. We take the time to listen, understand what’s happening for you and your family, and connect you with the support that best suits your needs.

Help is free, can last for as long as it’s needed, and is focused on achieving the best outcome for your family.

We know every family is different. We will take the time to listen to what’s important to you and help connect you with the supports and services that best suit your family’s needs.

This could include:

  • Cultural support
  • Health services
  • Mental health and wellbeing services
  • Local community services
  • Financial or practical support services
  • Parenting and family support services
  • Disability and advocacy services
  • Other organisations and supports that may be helpful

We’ll talk through your options together, and any next steps will only happen with your family’s knowledge, choice, and consent.
