The Warwick Cancer Foundation
About The Warwick Cancer Foundation
The Warwick Cancer Foundation is the first non-profit organisation in Australia focused on supporting young adults
under 40 during their cancer treatment. The foundation also supports carers of those currently in treatment and
survivors aged under 40.
Why young adults with cancer?
Young adults are the fastest growing demographic among over 10 million new cancer diagnoses each year
worldwide. While there are many cancer related organisations in existence today for children and older adults,
there are none that focus on meeting the needs of young adults past the age of 25.
Young adults with cancer can experience a unique set of issues and challenges:
• Feelings of anger, panic, denial, guilt, uncertainty, shock and fear
• Feelings of isolation and disconnection from family and friends
• Fear of mortality
• Emotional distress
• Loss of independence
• Financial pressure and uncertainty- many young adults do not have sufficient health or life insurance to cover
expenses and time away from work
• Fertility Preservation
• Intimacy and Relationship changes
What we do
The Warwick Cancer Foundation’s programs and services have been developed under psychosocial guidelines to
address key issues faced by young adults with cancer.
• Peer to peer support programs aim to reduce isolation, destigmatise cancer and normalise side effects of cancer
treatment
• Social media platforms provide a safe environment to communicate feelings of depression, anxiety and fears
related to cancer. Many young adults with cancer are unable to voice their fears to loved ones and friends for fear
of `burdening’ them
• Provide a safe environment to connect with others who are currently in treatment without fear of judgement of
physical appearance
• Promote psychosocial support to assist in coping skills for different stages of cancer and survivorship
• Provide age appropriate information and referral
• Awareness campaigns to promote prevention of cancers in young adults
