Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Cancer Connect peer support program.
We ask that applicants completed their cancer treatment a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years ago*.
This timeframe allows volunteers to be physically and psychologically prepared for the supportive role they undertake, while ensuring their treatment experience remains relevant.
*This timeframe is flexible and applicants will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering the nature of their treatment and diagnosis.
We recognise that not everyone will fit these parameters, e.g. those on maintenance therapy or with stable metastatic disease.
The following form requests detailed information about your cancer experience. We capture this so we have a good understanding of your cancer diagnosis and treatment so we can best match you with people that are going through a similar cancer experience.
Before completing the form:
- The form may take up to 30 minutes to complete.
- Please read the form carefully and make sure you have all of the information ready before you start filling it out as you won't be able to save and come back later.
- If you need help with any of the questions please contact the Cancer Connect Manager on 03 9514 6315
