Clinical Support

We do whatever it takes to help you navigate the healthcare system, look into clinical trial access and find the answers you need.

We understand a rare cancer diagnosis can be confusing, so we take the time to help you understand what’s happening. 

We are here to answer the questions that matter to you, so you don’t need to rely on late-night searches of Dr Google. We walk with you through every step, helping you feel more informed and aware of your options. 

We can help you:

  • Navigate your way through the healthcare system

    We can talk you through the latest treatment options, medications and clinical trials recommended by your treating team.

  • Communicate with your healthcare teams

    We can explain who you are likely to meet and their role, important questions to ask, and your rights as a patient.

  • Explore genomic testing 

    We can help you understand and navigate genomic testing, so you and your treating team have more information on your unique cancer.

  • Connect with the right professionals 

    We can help you get in touch with specialists around Australia and the world who have a special interest in your type of cancer.

  • Learn about clinical trials

    We can support you through the process of finding and participating in clinical trials if your treatment options are limited.

  • Access options for your type of cancer

    We can help you explore access programs, to potentially access medications that are not available to some cancer patients through usual pathways.

Our support knows no limits. Reach out to us today for tailored support that is as unique and individual as you.
