The Childhood Cancer Association provides emotional, practical and financial support to children with cancer and their families. The Association was formed in 1982 by a group of parents of children with cancer, responding to the need that they themselves had identified. Our Family Service provides practical and emotional support to children with cancer and their family. We also provide cost free accommodation for country families requiring special support or accessibility to medical services in addition to equipment for hospitals, reimbursements, 24 hour accessibility to our services, bereavement support and funeral assistance.
