Integration & Inclusion
Integration and Inclusion supports childhood cancer survivors and their families to participate meaningfully in everyday life beyond treatment. This includes navigating transitions back to school, exploring education and employment pathways and pursuing longer-term aspirations across different stages of life.
Support is tailored to each survivor’s strengths, needs and goals while collaboration with schools, employers and community partners helps to build greater understanding and create more inclusive opportunities. The aim is to reduce barriers to participation and enable survivors to learn, work, contribute and pursue their aspirations with greater confidence and support.
