Canteen provides life-changing support that gets young people through a world turned upside down by cancer.
Cancer changes everything
Canteen is an Australian charity that has provided free and tailored support to young people impacted by cancer for almost 40 years.
Whether young people are dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer or the death of a loved one, Canteen provides a wide range of free support services to help them overcome the specific challenges they’re dealing with.
We also provide services for parents dealing with cancer in their family. Our studies show that when parents are supported through cancer, their children cope much better as well.
