We’re here to meet the individual needs of each family, with our support services extending to all family members including the child with cancer, parents and guardians, siblings, grandparents, and other close relations.
Who is eligible for support?
We support all children and young people, aged 0-18 years, who are diagnosed with cancer and receive treatment at a South Australian hospital. Services are available for all members of the family from the point of diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond. Not sure? Contact us.
How we help
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family needs critical support services to help them cope.
