Social work support

Cancer Council SA provides support services for guests and carers staying at Greenhill Lodge.

A Social Worker is available to discuss practical issues, provide information about services or just to talk about some of the emotions a cancer experience can bring.

You can contact the Social Worker by asking our Reception staff or Concierge Volunteer to make an appointment for you.

Cancer Council 13 11 20 Information and Support Service

A team of experienced nurses can help you with cancer information and connect you with services via Cancer Council 13 11 20, our telephone service which operates Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Please note, our nurses do not provide medical attention so dial 000 if you require an ambulance.

Remember, the 13 11 20 nurses are also only a phone call away if you need support when you return home after treatment.

 

Transport to Treatment service

We offer a free but limited volunteer-run service between Cancer Council SA and four major treatment centres.

This service is available Monday to Friday.

• Royal Adelaide Hospital, 7.30 am – 4.00 pm (last pick up at Royal Adelaide Hospital is 4.30 pm)
• GenesisCare – St. Andrew’s Hospital, Adelaide 7.30 am – 4.00 pm (last pick up from St Andrew’s Hospital is 4.45 pm)
• GenesisCare – Tennyson Centre, Kurralta Park from 9.15 am and as required
• GenesisCare – Bedford Park (Flinders Private Hospital), from 1.15 pm and as required.

This is a pre-booked service. Please request a seat from either the Concierge Volunteers or Reception staff as soon as you have confirmation of your appointment.

Please advise Reception the time you require return transport from Genesis Care St Andrews (337 South Tce, Adelaide).

Priority of access is given to guests requiring treatment, although carers are welcome to use the service if space permits. If you are a carer and the bus is full, please consider offering to catch the next bus to allow all patients to get to their appointments on time.

As a volunteer-run service, there may be occasions when the service is unavailable and therefore guests/carers will be required to make their own way to treatment.

If you have concerns about getting to appointments, please speak to our Social Workers who can assist you with identifying other options available.

Building Access

The entrance doors to the building will be locked between 5.30 pm and 7.00 am on weekdays and between 4.30 pm and 8.00 am on weekends. Please ensure you take your room key card with you to access the building during these times.

An intercom is located at the entrance of the building to contact Reception if required.
