Support groups

• talk with people who are in a similar situation
• share experiences and information
• give and receive support
• share practical tips, tools and strategies
• reduce feelings of isolation
• access support no matter where you are in Australia

Just as people’s needs and personalities vary support groups come in many different types and formats. Some groups are facilitated by a person who has had a cancer diagnosis, some by a carer and some by a health professional within either a community centre or cancer care centre.  They may take the form of a formal group that meets at a regular time, an informal group meeting for coffee and a chat, a telephone link-up group or an internet based support group.

As it is important to choose your group well, it may take time to find a group that meets your specific needs.

Below is a list of support groups that have provided contact details to Cancer Council SA. If you would like to add to or update this information please call
