Melanoma Patients Australia

Melanoma Telehealth Nurse Service supports people affected by melanoma from diagnosis through treatment and into life after cancer. Support is also available for family and carers. Nurses provide support by phone or video call. This includes clinical guidance and navigation, emotional support, help with decision-making, assistance to organise care, and practical support. Support for wellbeing after treatment is also available. The service can be accessed from anywhere in Australia.

The Counselling Service offers personalised emotional support for people affected by melanoma. This includes families and carers. Counselling can help people adjust to diagnosis, manage distress, cope with fear of the cancer coming back, and find meaning. It also supports people living with advanced or metastatic melanoma (cancer that has spread) and life after treatment. Support is provided across Australia by phone or video. It includes one 50-minute session, with up to 2 follow-up sessions if needed. A telehealth nurse appointment is required first.
