Summary and conclusions

Where can you get support?

Whilst the focus of this program has been on your involvement in consultations, we think it’s really important that you also receive support whenever you need it.

If you feel that you could use some additional support, consider the below options:

• Contact the Cancer Council to speak to specially trained staff on their information and support line (Phone: 13 11 20)
• Contact Carer’s Australia (Phone: 1800 242 636)
• Speak to the patient’s treating team for their advice on referrals.
• Visit your local GP to discuss your mental health and referral to a psychologist under a mental health care plan.
