Surf Coast Relay For Life

Share your cancer care telehealth experiences with us.
We would like to talk to people about their experiences with telehealth appointments for cancer care.
Cancer Council is working with health services across Victoria and Deakin University researchers to understand what cancer patients and their carers think of telehealth. This research aims to explore what patients and carers think is good about telehealth, what isn’t working and how telehealth services can be improved.
Participating in this research provides you with a valuable opportunity to help improve the telehealth experience for all Victorians affected by cancer.
To find out more and register for an interview slot, visit cancervic.org.au/about/stories/telehealth-research-project.html
If you have any questions about this research please contact Vicki White, lead researcher at Deakin University [email protected] or call 03 924 68522.
Thank you for your interest and support to help improve cancer outcomes for all Victorians.

If you've had a telehealth appointment for your cancer treatment during the COVID-19 restrictions, we'd like to hear from you.

If you or a loved one have had a cancer diagnosis you have ‘lived experience’ which gives your feedback weight and collectively, can influence change, which is an invaluable thing.

To help us understand how the pandemic and physical distancing measures have impacted people affected by cancer, Cancer Council researchers are conducting an Australia-wide survey and we want to hear about your experience via this survey:

By taking part, you'll inform the development of new services for people affected by cancer - both in response to the pandemic and other future crises.

It’s understandable to be anxious about visiting the doctor or attending follow-up appointments at this time, however detecting and treating cancer early can save your life. Health workers are doing everything possible to make care safe, so if you have any symptoms, don’t delay talking to a doctor: https://bit.ly/2Q2WDZJ
