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.


How you can help us continue our support services.

Without a dollar of ongoing public funding, we need your help to support kids with cancer.
