Focus is on care and compassion
We provide additional support to complement your chosen cancer treatment pathway. Our focus is on equipping you with the tools, guidance, and care you need to navigate your diagnosis, maintain your health, and nurture your wellbeing at every stage of your cancer journey.
Holistic support services in Cairns
We work alongside your chosen oncology treatment pathway to help you maintain your health, manage treatment side effects, and protect your emotional wellbeing. Whether you are:
-
- Newly diagnosed with cancer
- Undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy
- Transitioning into survivorship
- Seeking palliative care support
Our experienced team is here to guide and support you.
Our cancer care nurses collaborate closely with your GP or oncology team, ensuring a multi-disciplinary approach to cancer care that addresses your physical, emotional, and practical needs.
Looking after families and carers
Cancer affects more than just the patient. That’s why we extend services to their immediate carers and support team, be it family, friends, and carers — offering practical advice, wellness programs, and cancer education resources to strengthen your support network.
We can connect you with:

- Coordinated care and connect with additional support internally and externally
