Oncology rehabilitation

Living with cancer can affect people with the disease, their families and carers. Having access to support, information, exercise programs and education can make a big difference to your health and wellbeing.

We offer a wealth of experience in medical and oncology nursing and care, working as a team to deliver a personalised health care program to help take care of your medical, physical and emotional needs.

Our hospitals offer oncology (cancer care) rehabilitation services that may:

  • help reduce side effects of treatment and medication such as pain, anxiety, fatigue or generally being unwell and unfit after cancer treatment
  • provide dietary education and advice to help you be as healthy as possible
  • consider strategies to help you cope with cancer, such as managing stress and how to use relaxation and positivity to improve your wellbeing
