Cancer Wellness Support exists to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of people living with cancer and their families, within a compassionate and supportive community.
Since 2005, our holistic, person-centred model of care has been built upon participation and collaboration. This has been enabled through community generosity and is 100% self funded through membership fees, op-shops, donations, bequests, fundraising events and sponsorship
Our approach is to improve access to complementary therapies and opportunities for social connection for people affected by cancer through removal of financial, geographic and other barriers.
With accessibility and affordability underpinning our core principles, we offer a comprehensive program of individual complementary health therapies, workshops, counselling, events and retreats at substantially discounted rates, to support people in increasing their knowledge, coping skills and resilience in the face of challenging circumstances, while reducing feelings of isolation.
Key therapies include counselling, massage, meditation, acupuncture, yoga, Qigong, reflexology, reiki, lymphoedema management, expressive arts therapy and Bowen therapy.
