This program is staffed by a number of outreach nurses who provide support and education to regional and rural patients, communities and hospitals.

The nursing team works closely with the medical team at the hospital, local teams and the doctor involved in the patient’s care.

The outreach program covers all of NSW and the ACT, with much of the team’s time spent in the larger population centres such as Canberra, Campbelltown, Wollongong, Wagga Wagga, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie. 

Nurses liaise with paediatricians, doctors, community and palliative care services as well as conducting school visits or home visits, depending on the patient’s needs.

Outreach clinics are also run by the program staff including oncology and haematology clinics in Armidale, Coffs Harbour, Wagga Wagga and Canberra. There is also a haematology clinic held four times a year in Campbelltown.
