Lung Cancer Specialist Nurse
Our lung cancer specialist nurse telehealth program provides free information and support over the phone to people living with lung cancer, their families and carers. Our experienced cancer nurses give evidence-based information relating to your diagnosis, treatment and managing symptoms. They can also tell you about other support services.
We want to help you and your doctors make good choices about your lung cancer treatment and care. To make a free phone appointment, please call the Information and Support Centre on 1800 654 301 (then choose option 3) or click the button below.
Support groups
Support groups connect you with others who have similar experiences. They offer encouragement, advice, and support to help you cope with challenges and live well.
Pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation is an exercise and education program run by specially trained health professionals. It teaches you the skills needed to exercise safely, manage your breathlessness and stay well.
Lungs in Action
After pulmonary rehabilitation, it’s important to keep exercising to stay fit. Lung Foundation Australia’s Lungs in Action program is a fun exercise class to help people with lung disease or lung cancer. Learn more, or let us know if you’re interested in a class.
Multidisciplinary team (MDT)
An MDT is a group of healthcare professionals who are experts in different parts of your treatment. They meet to create and review treatment plans for people with cancer. This helps everyone communicate better and makes sure all treatment options are considered.
Webinars
Learn more about your condition, including how to manage your condition and current research and treatment options. Our educational webinars are delivered by leading health professionals from across Australia. You can take part in upcoming live events or watch them later on demand.
