Barwon South Western Regional Integrated Cancer Service (BSWRICS) logo

Cancer support groups allow people affected by cancer (including family, carers, and friends) to regularly meet and share their experiences in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Support groups meet at hospitals or community health centres to discuss the impacts of diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.

We encourage you to contact support group leaders to ensure the group is right for your needs. See below for support groups in the Barwon South Western region or view the Barwon South West region cancer support groups brochure, which contains more detailed information.

For further information on cancer support groups, including telephone and online cancer support groups, please contact Cancer Council Victoria on 13 11 20 or visit www.cancervic.org.au/support-groups.
