Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer information

We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders past and present. We would also like to extend that respect to all other Aboriginal people

We have developed a patient guide: Wominjeka Cancer care at Peter Mac. We developed this Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer information guide by working with: 

  • The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Committee  
  • First Nations patients

This guide highlights available services for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. It includes information on:

  • The importance of discharge planning 
  • Keeping appointments  
  • How to provide us with feedback

What we do 

We supply cancer information about:

  • Preventing cancer 
  • Detecting cancer early 
  • How we test for cancer  
  • A range of cancer support service information

Patient resources are also available in the information lounge found on Level 2. 

Support is also available through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health service.
