Cancer Council Helpline

Our Cancer Council Helpline is a free service for all Queenslanders.

The Helpline is staffed by trained professionals who have knowledge about cancer and cancer care. If you have questions about cancer, our Helpline team can help. They provide information, support, and referrals to services throughout the state.

The Helpline operates from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

To access the Helpline, call 13 11 20, fax (07) 3259 8459 or email helpline@cancerqld.org.au

Local call rates apply for calls made to the Helpline from any landline service. Mobile phone rates apply for calls made to the Helpline from any mobile phone. Please note these rates vary according to your mobile phone service provider.

TIP: When calling the Helpline from your mobile, we encourage you to provide your Helpline operator with your phone number so that they can call you straight back.

This way, you can feel comfortable to chat to your trained Helpline operator without having to worry about adding to your telephone bill.

 

Our Helpline staff can assist with:
  • Information about cancer and cancer treatments.
  • Support in coping with cancer.
  • Referrals to cancer care and support services within Cancer Council Queensland.
  • Links to other sources of cancer information.

Services

We provide a Wig and Turban Service for people who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment.

We also offer a limited range of home medical aid equipment for people with a cancer, to assist with their care at home. Equipment available through the service includes wheelchairs, beds, and shower stools (please note that the availability of equipment varies).

Our Helpline offers a range of resource booklets with information on all aspects of cancer. Resources can be sent to patients, families, health professionals, schools and interstate on request.
