Who is a Cancer Care Coordinator?
Cancer Care Coordinators are experienced oncology (cancer) Registered Nurses.
They are committed to helping you and your family progress along your cancer pathway as smoothly as possible.
What does a Cancer Care Coordinator do?
Every diagnosis comes with a lot to think about. You may have questions that need answers, tests to schedule, treatments to consider, concerns about family members or uncertainty about how the medical system works.
The Cancer Care Coordinators can support and guide you throughout your care.
They can assist you and your family to navigate your cancer journey with a full understanding of the support available.
The Care Coordinators work closely with your doctors and others involved in your care to link all services together.
How we can help
We can assist in connecting people living with cancer with the right person at the right time.
We provide appropriate support and access to many services by:
- Providing a point of contact and support for you and your family.
- Providing you with reliable information about your diagnosis and treatment plan.
- Providing you with information around dealing with the effects of treatment.
- Coordinating your care - wherever you are in your cancer journey.
- Assisting with access to services in the hospital and your community before, during and after treatment.
How to contact us
You and your family can either contact the Care Coordinator directly or ask one of your treating team to refer you to a Cancer care coordinator.
You can access this free service Monday to Friday 8.00am to 4.30pm, and you do not need a medical referral.
