About Us

Central Coast Local Health District’s CoastCanCare Wellness Program has been a proud beneficiary of the annual Dry July campaign since 2013.

Thanks to the generosity of the Dry July Foundation and their amazing supporters, CoastCanCare is helping to fill a gap for Central Coast adults, after the diagnosis and impact of cancer has changed the way they, and their carers, manage day to day.

CoastCanCare is a unique service which focuses on supporting individuals with cancer. The goal of the program is helping individuals live well with, and after, cancer. The program provides direct contact and support to participants with evidence-based therapies and programs, linking them with local services and supports and providing practical support to patients, carers and family members.

We are grateful to Dry July for continuing to include CoastCanCare as a beneficiary in its annual campaign.

Latest Updates


CoastCanCare Program

Dry July beneficiary, the Central Coast Local Health District (CCLHD), are currently running their CoastCanCare Wellness Program, an initiative funded thanks to the money raised by Dry July participants.

CoastCanCare offers a range of wellness programs designed to complement medical treatment and promote the wellbeing of Central Coast adults with cancer, their family members and carers. Such programs have been shown to be very helpful in assisting people to manage stress, anxiety, fatigue and pain. Current programs include motivational education sessions, as well as group mindfulness and meditation workshops.

As part of the program, they recently began music therapy sessions, designed to engage and focus on the whole person, not their illness or treatment.

As always, we’re so grateful for our DJs who raise funds to improve the wellbeing of adult cancer patients.
