Cancer Council Queensland provides accommodation for regional cancer patients and their carers when they need to travel for cancer treatment in major cities.

Accommodation is available in Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Toowoomba and Brisbane.

There is an extremely high demand for this service and therefore no guarantee of availability. However, if the facilities are fully booked, our staff will refer you to another organisation who can assist you with your accommodation enquiry.
