COUNTERPART
Counterpart connects, supports and informs women with cancer to live well. Counterpart is a service of Women’s Health Victoria and has been providing support services to women living with cancer since 2003.

They will be seeking women (cis and trans inclusive) who have had a diagnosis of cancer to provide peer support to other women experiencing a cancer diagnosis through listening, supporting and providing information. Comprehensive training (in person and online) will be provided. Volunteers work a 4 hour shift on the phone on either a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday either from QVWC or from home with support from Counterpart staff.
Anyone interested in volunteering can learn more at www.counterpart.org.au, visit Countepart’s Seek Volunteer page or email kellie.holland@counterpart.org.au for further information.
