To assist you with legal issues, financial planning, workplace (HR or recruitment) advice we have the followng services:

You can also speak to a social worker at your treatment centre and they can refer you.
For ACT and NSW residents needing to travel interstate or long distances for medical treatment that is not available locally the Interstate Patient Travel Assistance Scheme (IPTAS) provides financial assistance towards accommodation and travel costs.
