What the service does

The Cancer Carer Support Program supports carers in the Australian Capital Territory. It is for people aged 18 and over who provide unpaid care and support to someone with a cancer diagnosis. The program matches each carer with a Supportive Care Team member. The carer works one‑on‑one with this team member to create a shared support plan. This support plan helps carers organise their own care and support needs.
