● Therapies and Support
Your Wellness Centre
The Wellness Centre offers a selection of therapies and support services designed to complement the medical treatment provided. It is fully-funded by the community through donations made to the Sunshine Trust.
At the Wellness Centre, people undergoing cancer treatment, their families and carers can access relevant treatment information, link with cancer support groups and explore beneficial lifestyle programs such as counselling, mindfulness and exercise oncology.
These services help people remain positive, gain a sense of control and feel supported, while offering practical strategies to help them help themselves.
