Cancer Council NSW

Cancer Council Australia is the overarching cancer support organisation. Each state has their own Cancer Council services with different programs.

Programs offered by Cancer Council NSW include:

Pro Bono Program

• Cancer Council’s Pro Bono Program helps people affected by cancer access free legal, financial, small business accounting and workplace assistance, where they would be otherwise unable to do so due to cost, illness or other barriers. Cancer Council does not provide advice directly. We connect people affected by cancer with a volunteer professional in the community who will provide advice and assistance.

• Examples of services provided include: Wills, power of attorney and enduring guardianship, accessing superannuation and insurance and help if there are any disputes.
