Formation:

Prostate education and awareness begain in our region in 2000 and in 2002 evolved into the Sunshine Coast Prostate Cancer Support Group which works closely with the Sunshine Coast office of the Queensland Cancer Council.

 

Activities:

At our meetings we either have a guest speaker or show a DVD on topics of interest.

Meetings are attended by 65 -70 people including partners and we actively encourage men to bring their partners. Morning tea is provided giving opportunity for participants to share experiences and for newcomers to gain more information. Publications from the Cancer Council and other organisations are available at each meeting.

Brochures and information cards are distributed to GP's, urologists, hospitals, medical centres, chemists, libraries and other appropriate outlets thoughout the region.

Meetings are notified in free weekly community newspapers and on ABC radio. As part of our awarness program we provide guest speakers for community groups and service clubs.

In addition to meetings, members of the Group Committee are available to provide telephone contact and support for men coping with diagnosis and treatment, or for men and their partners just seeking more infomation.

Meeting Details:

Meetings are held at the RSL Sub Branch Meeting Room Memorial Avenue Maroochydore, from 9.30am to noon on the last Tuesday of each month (except December). For further information please contact the Co-Convener/Administrator (RobTonge )
