Enhancing access to supportive care services for people affected by cancer, how Cancer Council Liaisons make a difference

Timely identification and referral of individuals with unmet supportive care needs can improve quality of life and reduce the adverse effects of cancer and treatment. To improve access to information and support services, Cancer Council NSW established the Cancer Council Liaison (CCL) service. CCLs are based in cancer centres and work alongside the treatment team to support people affected by cancer.
