Established in 1985, Cancer Care Centre Inc is an innovative not-for-profit, membership-based organisation that offers a range of complimentary programs and services to people affected by cancer, including those undergoing treatment and their families, carers, and friends.

Our Centre offers just such a space – a safe, caring, friendly and respectful place for our members and the general public or access programs and services which provide help, hope, understanding and joy.

Apart from a small amount of grant funding from time to time, our Centre does not receive any government funding. Since its inception therefore, the Centre has relied on the generosity of its members, corporate and community-based organisations, and the broader community to provide enough resources to sustain its operations and to offer a fantastic range of programs and services to people affected by cancer at a highly subsidised cost.
