Cancer Care and Palliative Care Services
Cancer Care
Our Cancer Care services are focussed on promoting general cancer awareness, and the importance of regular screening and prevention practices, in line with broader government initiatives. We work closely with the NSW Cancer Institute and Cancer Australia, to ensure local Community voices are being heard, and are receiving the best quality of care.
Our services also include information and referrals, screening appointments, transport to and from appointments, cancer investigation and follow up, specialist financial support (for eligible clients), Aboriginal Health Worker/Practitioners, clinical and General Practitioner services.
