Coping with cancer
Since 1990, Cancer Council Victoria has supported more than 750,000 Victorians through our Cancer Information and Support Service. Our team of experienced cancer nurses and allied health professionals aim to ensure every person affected by cancer including family and friends receives the information and support needed to help them through each stage of the cancer journey.
