At COUCH Cancer Hub NQ, we understand that a cancer diagnosis touches every part of life — physical, emotional, social, and psychological. The Finding Your Way Program is designed to help you or someone you care about regain confidence, strength and wellbeing throughout their cancer journey.
Thanks to the generous support of a CommBank Staff Foundation 2025 Community Grant, we’re able to offer this program at a significantly subsidised rate, making quality cancer care more accessible for people in our community.
About the Program
The Finding Your Way Program is a 4-week evidence-based cancer wellness program that blends clinical guidance, safe exercise and holistic support in a welcoming environment. Grounded in research from Cancer Council Australia and the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA), this structured approach can help to:
- Improve physical strength and energy
- Enhance mood and emotional wellbeing
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Support recovery during and after treatment
- Improve confidence and overall quality of life
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or adjusting after recovery, Finding Your Way provides the guidance and care you need to feel empowered and supported.
