Just a bit of an update!
13 11 20 remains the first best option if you want to speak with a trained health professional about your concerns related to COVID-19.
The next option I would suggest is using this forum, here, in our Online Community.
An update to the information and support available from Cancer Council across Australia is available below:
Cancer Council New South Wales:
Information and support regarding COVID-19
How COVID-19 has impacted our information and support services
Cancer Council Queensland:
Information and support regarding cancer and COVID-19
Cancer Council Tasmania:
Cancer Council Tasmania and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
Cancer Council South Australia:
Cancer and COVID-19
Cancer Council Western Australia
Cancer and Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Cancer Council Victoria have a more visual approach:
Cancer Council Victoria
You may find that all of the above are quite similar, as we all work together to provide the best information and support to you. Cancer Council Australia, has also put up some information (which Cancer Council Victoria, Cancer Council Tasmania and Cancer Council Northern Territory all link to directly).
Further information about COVID-19, can be found here
The federal Department of Health has issued a health alert and public health information on COVID-19.
You can also contact the Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080.
Call Cancer Council on 13 11 20 for cancer related information and support.
Here is some CDC advice on cleaning and disinfecting.

If you're experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, such as:
fever
cough
shortness of breath
sore throat
Or are aware of having had contact with someone who has tested positive, please do contact your treatment team.
Where possible, give them a call rather than attending in person - this will lower the risk to yourself, as well as reduce the risk of possibly exposing others.
You can find further information here from Cancer Council regarding this advice, here and here.

Morning @Lindsay!
I wish you well with your scans ❤️ Please drive safely!
Cancer Council have put out some information here: https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/get-support/covid-19/
You can also download a PDF version, here, which is great to print out.
There's also some great information available at the NSW Cancer Institute.
I will gather this all together today and make a new post, so it's all accessible to everyone 😊
Cheers,
Kate

Hey @PhilPepper and everyone else, I hope you are all doing well 😘
How are you all going in the current climate?
Here's a little Monday song for you all!
Don't be strangers! I'll be here no matter what, as will the rest of my team, to support you however best we can - even if it's sharing the silliest songs we can find 🤣

If you're stuck at home, for whatever reason, why not spend some time enjoying some animals courtesy of Zoos Victoria?
Zoos Victoria, who manage Healesville Sanctuary, Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo, have set up live streaming of some of their enclosures!
You can choose to watch the snow leopard cubs, the giraffe, the penguins or lions.
I'll post the videos below - let us know which one is your favourite 😀

There’s no time like the present for us to rally together and support those in need in our communities.
If you are able, save the image below and print it out, then pop them into your neighbour's mailboxes.
Share this post amongst your friends and let’s get through this difficult time together 💛
