About Us
No one is ever prepared for cancer, but the Wesley Hospital Choices Cancer Support Centre (Choices) can help people through the emotional turmoil and difficult decision making process following a diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond, as well as focusing on wellness after cancer.
Choices is a free community service operated under The Wesley Hospital. Our unique programs can improve the quality of life of those affected by cancer, and are available to people regardless of where they receive treatment. Working within an interdisciplinary team from The Wesley Hospital, Choices provides a blend of clinical expertise, specialist peer support, complementary therapies, education and awareness to comprehensively support people with cancer, their family and friends.
If you or your family have been affected, you’ll know the toll that cancer can take on physical and mental health. The good news is – we’re here to help.
We provide support and care that no other organisation offers, and is only possible thanks to the generous support of the Dry July Foundation. If you would like to help us help others please sign up today to go dry this July and raise vital funds for people affected by cancer, and for Choices.

Pauline's story |
Choices Cancer Support program is pleased to announce we are included as a new beneficiary for the Dry July campaign. Below is Pauline’s story which demonstrates the integrated programs of Choices and the ways it supports Queenslanders facing cancer.
Why choose the Wesley’s Choices Cancer Support Centre?
Prior to my diagnosis, I had worked to help others in the Choices programs for many years, with Kim Walters Foundation and Think Pink. Choices, offered me the choices I needed to get me through this ‘Journey’…
I was 41 when my doctor said those words (that echo as much today as on that day) “You have breast cancer”, that was 11th June 2013. I am very lucky to have an extremely supportive husband and two beautiful, then pre-teen children. I didn’t want to worry my family any more than they already were, with all my anxieties and fears - I knew I needed to find external support. Support that I could rely on, to not only provide me, but my family with the backing we needed. The Wesley Choices Support Program was that life line, I needed to feel somewhat normal - the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ workshop and free wig hire services helped to provide me with the external resources; I needed understanding and a place to escape – the peer support network was always there with a comforting ear; and, the information events – all have been priceless.
