How Counterpart can help
Their trained Peer Support Volunteers have a lived experience of cancer and provide peer support to women with cancer across Victoria. They do this over the phone and in person at hospitals, our Resource Centre, and at their events.
They also provide reliable information for living with cancer through our Resource Centre, online videos and webinars, and the Counterpart Navigator app.
All Counterpart services are free and confidential.
Counterpart is supported by the Victorian Government.
