Providing a home away from home for regional West Australians, our Adopt a Room program is a chance for Cancer Council WA supporters to offer essential support for regional patients and their carers as they access cancer treatment in Perth.
A cancer diagnosis can mark the beginning of a journey full of emotional, physical and practical challenges. These challenges are amplified for regional patients.
With limited treatment centres in regional Western Australia, many patients must travel to Perth for treatment. The journey isolates them from home and support networks, often adding financial stress due to the need for temporary accommodation.
