We've partnered with trusted providers who specialise in supportive services,  including oncology-physiotherapists, oncology-dietitians, emotional support health psychologists, counsellors and more. These services have been identified as having the greatest benefit to patients to help manage the physical, emotional, and practical challenges that can arise during and after cancer treatment.

Under the Canopy wellbeing services

Under the Canopy is an integrated care model where we don’t just treat your medical condition but look at your recovery and long-term wellbeing. We recognise that it takes more than medicine alone to support patients through cancer, and that your journey doesn't end when treatment is complete. That's why we encourage patients to access supportive care services before, during, and after treatment as needed.

Supporting You Beyond Treatment

We encourage all patients to access these services before, during, and after treatment, as needed.

We believe it is important to provide patients and their families with access to tools, resources, and specialist support to help manage treatment-related side effects, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve physical wellbeing. These services can help you better cope with treatment and recovery, ultimately enhancing your quality of life.

Our goal is to ensure that you and your family feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout your cancer journey and beyond.

Under the Canopy provides access to the support, knowledge, and resources needed to help you navigate cancer with confidence and achieve the best possible quality of life.
