About Us

Phone: 1300 13 3878

The principal object of this association is to promote the case of the support for those who have prostate cancer, or suspect that they may have prostate cancer and their carers, to ensure that such people know they are Not Alone.

We have been operating for some years now and became an incorporated Association in March 2007. We are an approved DGR recipient with Australian tax office, which means that donations made to our association are tax deductible.

Partners and carers are especially welcome, laughter and tears usually balance one another out!!

From time to time we have open forums, with no guest speaker, where members discuss and raise issues that are of concern or interest to them.

Our three rules are:

1. Everything said in the meeting, stays in the meeting.
2. Everyone is entitled to their point of view.
3. We do not provide medical advice.

If you would like to become a member, please contact our secretary, you do not have to be a member to attend our meetings and no charge is made for attending any of our meetings
