Thrive and live well

With the help of The Victorian Cancer Survivorship Program, we have created a program to support people who’ve survived cancer, to thrive and live well with a cancer diagnosis.

How does it work?

We work in partnership with Eastern Health, North Eastern Melbourne Integrated Cancer Service and consumers, to provide facilitated access to community health services for people moving from acute treatments to post treatment and beyond. When the time is right a tailored plan is developed in discussion with the individual, based on their unique circumstance. A Care Coordinator discusses their needs, identifies any priority areas for support and designs a staged approach to care. At all times the person receiving care has the final say in their care plan and is at the centre of decision-making.

The aim is to improve the quality of life, physical fitness, wellbeing, mental health, mobility, functioning, and nutrition of people with a cancer diagnosis, and to reduce any fatigue and pain.
