Affiliated support groups form part of PCFA's national network and provide peer support to those impacted by prostate cancer in the local community. PCFA is proud to work with over 130 dedicated affiliated support groups who conduct an extremely valuable service.
Groups belonging to the PCFA Network are run independently and therefore determine their own group format, activities and structure. Every group in the Network is different. We therefore encourage potential members to contact group leaders and have a chat with them directly to determine which group may meet their individual needs.
As part of the affiliation relationship groups are asked to adhere to;
- PCFA's five core values
- operate independently and not subject to control by an individual, organisation or government agency
- have their own name
- accept responsibility for managing their own activities, resources and finance
- clearly identify as "Affiliated with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia" and not use the PCFA's name or logo
