Cancer Services Directory

Cancer Services Directory

Directory of ACT Cancer Services was developed as a guide to cancer services in the ACT for people with cancer, their carers, families and friends. It is also designed to be a resource for health professionals working in cancer care.

A diagnosis of cancer can pose many challenges. They can range from the practical, like how to get to a distant medical appointment, to the emotionally complex, like thinking about life and death. The services listed in this directory can help with many of these challenges.

The directory is available to download in sections by clicking on the headings below, this version is kept up to date. Alternatively you may download and view the entire directory now by clicking on the cover image above or you can order a copy by calling the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.
