Accommodation services
Patients diagnosed with cancer who live in regional, rural, or remote areas may need to travel to Adelaide for treatment, which can involve staying away from home for extended periods.
Two independent, non-government organisations (Cancer Council SA and the Leukaemia Foundation) offer subsidised or free accommodation (where available) for regional and rural patients and their carers.
Patients with blood cancers can contact these charitable organisations directly to discuss their accommodation needs.

We accept GP and specialist referrals to this service.
