One of the main organisations that provides information and support for people with cancer is the Cancer Council. Their services include:

• an Information and Support line, 13 11 20, which has specially trained staff available to offer support
• a range of face-to-face, online and telephone support groups
• a program called Cancer Connect where you can talk to someone who has experienced cancer
• an online community for people with cancer and their families and friends.

The Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) provides information and support specifically for people with breast cancer.

• a My Journey online tool
• a free Hopes & Hurdles pack for people with advanced breast cancer
• a telephone support line 1800 500 258
• an online network to connect with other people affected by breast cancer.

The McGrath Foundation provides:

• McGrath breast care nurses
• a breast care telephone support service on 1800 183 338

You can also talk to the cancer care coordinator or social worker where you are being seen. They can tell you what services and support groups are available locally. Your GP may also be able to provide information about this.
