About Us

At the Nepean Cancer and Wellness Centre, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to cancer patients and their families. Our team works tirelessly to support individuals through every step of their cancer journey, offering advanced treatments, essential services, and holistic care to enhance their well-being.

By participating in Dry July, we aim to raise vital funds to improve patient comfort and care. Donations help us provide additional support services, wellness programs, and much-needed equipment that make a real difference in the lives of those undergoing treatment.

Every dollar raised stays local, directly benefiting our patients across the Nepean and Blue Mountains regions. Join us in making a meaningful impact, whether by going alcohol-free this July, donating, or spreading the word. Together, we can bring comfort and hope to those who need it most.

Latest Updates


Nepean Cancer Care Centre continues to provide comfort and support services thanks to Dry July 2023 funds

The funds are helping the Nepean Cancer Care Centre to upgrade its garden, providing a comforting and welcoming environment for patients and families waiting for treatment, as well as the purchase of gender tailored gowns and valuable patient equipment. 

You should feel so proud knowing the funds raised for Dry July have helped Nepean Cancer Care fund multiple projects

Your fundraising for Dry July has enabled Nepean Cancer Care to purchase items for their Wellness Program, Radiation Unit, patient equipment and to refurbish the patient waiting area.

Our Wellness Program will continue to improve our patients’ physical, mental wellbeing, and recovery journey and the refurbishment of our patient waiting room will help reduce patient anxiety and have a more relaxed and welcoming feel for our patients.

The team at Nepean Cancer Care are battling for first place!

Who will take home the Dry July Trophy and have bragging rights for the next twelve months? Last year’s winner Dr Deme Karikios raised $13,133.25, will he keep his title or will another crusader take his place?

Funds raised will directly support cancer patients in our community undergoing treatment at the centre.

Send the team a message of encouragement and keep those donations rolling in.


Dry July fundraising has helped Nepean Cancer Care develop a specialised 8 week exercise program.

Dry July funds have been put to good use in a number of ways, most recently through a new exercise program that sees patients complete a specialised 8-week Exercise program run by an accredited Exercise Physiologist in Emu Plains.

Cancer Care Physio Glyndon Wakeman says that they hope to continue to fund the program through the support of Dry July.

“The most important thing is to have the support of people driving donations through the Dry July”, says Glyndon.

Peter from Erskine Park is a patient of the Nepean Cancer Care Centre who is seeing the benefits of being involved in the program.

“I’ve got more energy for a start”, says Peter. “It improves my day-to-day lifestyle and is helping to slow down the progression of my cancer.”
