Free Support
Our Lung Cancer Support Nurse provides a free telephone-based service for patients, their families and carers. The service provides evidence-based information regarding diagnosis, treatment, symptom management and well-being in addition to guidance about relevant support services.
Advocate
The Your Voice Lung Health Advocacy Program is Australia’s only consumer-led, nationally coordinated political advocacy program. Members of our advocacy program receive ongoing training and support to engage in targeted campaign activities across our portfolio of activities in lung cancer, respiratory illness, clean air, workplace lung diseases and tobacco control.
Awareness
Every year, the Shine a Light on Lung Cancer community comes together to raise awareness and funding for life-changing research and support services, giving hope to Australian families impacted by lung cancer. There are many ways you can get involved and show your support.
