We know that the earlier a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse is connected to someone diagnosed with cancer, the better the outcomes can be. McGrath Cancer Nurses provide expert care and support across any stage of cancer and throughout treatment.

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses can improve the quality of care someone receives because they work within a multidisciplinary team of medical and other health professionals, and act as a source of information and contact throughout treatment.

Care from a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse can greatly minimise the stress and trauma of a cancer diagnosis for people experiencing cancer and their families.

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses are highly qualified, clinical experts who add significant value to the coordination of care, support, guidance and advice to people experiencing cancer and their families. Our nurses have a background in oncology, palliative care and cancer stream specific nursing.
