Leukaemia Foundation's blood cancer support line: an Australian first

Anyone impacted by any type of blood cancer can call 1800 620 420 Monday to Friday AEST from 10am to 4pm to speak to a highly-skilled blood cancer support professional, giving them access to the latest information, supportive care services and to join their blood cancer community.

Whether someone is currently living with blood cancer, undergoing treatment, in remission, a carer, or grieving the loss of a loved one the Leukaemia Foundation’s Blood Cancer Support Coordinators are experts at guiding people through the emotional, physical and psychosocial challenges of blood cancer. The blood cancer support team can suggest and share information and services specific to the diagnosis and situation.

The Leukaemia Foundation also works hand-in-hand with healthcare professionals to ensure their patients receive the tailored support they need from experienced Blood Cancer Support Coordinators. Healthcare professionals can refer someone facing blood cancer to Australia's blood cancer support line by using an easy online referral form at www.bloodcancer.org.au.

Sadly, many Australians impacted by blood cancer still face barriers to receiving the care they need when they need it. By breaking down these barriers and offering personalised care and information at no cost, the Leukaemia Foundation is working hard to ensure that every Australian impacted by a blood cancer diagnosis has access to the support they need, regardless of who they are or where they live.
