Murrumbeena Relay For Life

Share your cancer care telehealth experiences with us. We would like to talk to people about their experiences with telehealth appointments for cancer care.

Cancer Council is working with health services across Victoria and Deakin University researchers to understand what cancer patients and their carers think of telehealth. This research aims to explore what patients and carers think is good about telehealth, what isn’t working and how telehealth services can be improved.
Participating in this research provides you with a valuable opportunity to help improve the telehealth experience for all Victorians affected by cancer.

To find out more and register for an interview slot, visit cancervic.org.au/about/stories/telehealth-research-project.html

If you have any questions about this research please contact Vicki White, lead researcher at Deakin University [email protected] or call 03 924 68522.

Thank you for your interest and support to help improve cancer outcomes for all Victorians.

Given the current level of uncertainty around restrictions on events and public gatherings, Cancer Council Victoria has made the decision to cancel the Murrumbeena Relay For Life, which was scheduled for October.

We truly share your disappointment, but the safety and wellbeing of the community, as well as that of volunteers and staff, are always the most important considerations for us.
All your amazing fundraising, including registration fees, will be recognised this year to ensure they go towards funding vital services as soon as possible, but please be assured that all registrations will be rolled over to the 2021 event, so you won’t need to pay again to take part.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. The ongoing support of the Relay For Life community has been as inspiring as ever. If you have any questions, please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or calling 1300 65 65 85.
