Patient Accommodation

Breast Cancer Australia has patient accommodation available to assist patients and/or their families needing a place to stay whilst receiving oncology treatment.

This is a joint initiative between Breast Cancer Australia and its affiliates Cancer & Bowel Research Trust and Kids Cancer Research Trust.

There are numerous residences throughout Australia, all in close proximity to metropolitan hospitals in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and ACT.

Each residence has two or three bedrooms and is available for up to six persons to stay at any given time. The duration of the stay may range from short term (1 to 3 weeks) to long term (one month to half a year).

The maintenance and ongoing servicing of the patient accommodation is undertaken by Breast Cancer Australia and volunteers as well as staff from the metropolitan hospitals affiliated with the residences.

Our aim in presenting these properties is to provide a dignified, private and relaxed accommodation environment for the family and patient during their particular treatment time.
