The Organisation

When life should be full of possibilities, cancer can crash into a young person's world and shatter everything. Established in 1985 Canteen was set up by a group of young cancer patients. Today Canteen is one of Australia's leading cancer organisations.

Canteen provides young people impacted by cancer, and their parents, with access to a team of Allied Health Professionals who deliver programs, counselling and a range of group and individual support activities across Australia. Canteen assists these young people to access the support they need to develop and maintain the skills and confidence to live healthy and happy lives.

Canteen's mission is to be in the corner of every young person when cancer crashes into their world.
