Ovarian Cancer Australia

Welcome to Ovarian Cancer Australia, a leading institution dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by ovarian cancer. Located in the heart of Melbourne on Lonsdale Street, our establishment is a point of interest for those seeking information, resources, and support related to this disease.

At Ovarian Cancer Australia, we understand the challenges and emotional aspects that come with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. That's why our newly updated Resilience Kit provides comprehensive information on all aspects of living with this disease, including diagnosis, treatment, support services, and life after diagnosis. Our goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and strategies to manage the challenges they may face.

One of the key resources we offer is our booklet on genetic testing and hereditary ovarian cancer. This comprehensive guide provides valuable information on the genetic testing process and its implications. Additionally, we have created a new fact sheet specifically for individuals who have a biological family member with an ovarian cancer diagnosis, offering guidance and support.

Recognizing the importance of early detection, we provide information on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. It is crucial to be aware of these symptoms and to seek medical advice promptly if they are experienced.

At Ovarian Cancer Australia, we firmly believe that no one should face ovarian cancer alone. We offer a range of support options for individuals, their families, and friends. Our dedicated helpline is available Monday to Friday, and our team of ovarian cancer nurses is ready to provide guidance and support. Whether you need a listening ear or practical advice, we are here for you.

We also acknowledge the impact ovarian cancer has on family, friends, and caregivers. We provide resources and support for those caring for individuals with ovarian cancer, emphasizing the importance of self-care and understanding.

Collaborating closely with health professionals across Australia, Ovarian Cancer Australia strives to ensure that the latest information and resources are available to those in the medical field. We work together to improve outcomes for individuals with ovarian cancer.

To further support our mission, we welcome donations of any size. Your contribution will make a meaningful impact, helping us save lives and support women affected by ovarian cancer. You can also create your own fundraising event or campaign, having fun while raising money with your loved ones.
