A diagnosis of cancer can be accompanied by intense emotions including shock, fear and anxiety for the patient and family members.

At Sydney Adventist Hospital we provide support for all those in the community affected by cancer, primarily through our Cancer Support Centre.

Founded in 1993, our Cancer Support Centre provides a wide range of services to the community, including support groups, education lectures, counselling, resources and information in a warm, comforting and supportive environment. Trained staff and volunteers are able to provide assistance to help people regain a sense of control over their lives.

Please see our current brochure and calendar for a list of this months meetings, events and more information on our services. 

Unfortunately Cancer Support Centre has postponed all support groups until further notice

Sydney Adventist Hospital has made this decision as part of our proactive precautionary response to the evolving situation caused by coronavirus COVID-19. We believe that these proactive measures will reduce the risk of spreading the virus to participants, facilitators, staff and doctors.

We apologise for any inconvenience and stress this decision may cause.

We appreciate the community’s support and understanding at this time.

Please see updated advice about proactive measures by the Hospital in regards to coronavirus at www.sah.org.au/coronavirus-information.
