Cancer Australia launched their online hub on Wednesday.  We’re proud to have worked closely with Cancer Australia building the Online Hub, which offers advice and support for the families and friends of children living with cancer. 

The website provides information about clinical trials and research, as well as links to resources for health professionals, researchers and the broader community.

The CEO of Cancer Australia, Professor Dorothy Keefe highlighted that

While more children are surviving cancer and childhood cancer is rare compared to adult cancer, it is still a leading cause of disease- related death for children in Australia” 

“A diagnosis of childhood cancer is an extremely challenging and confronting time for children, their parents, immediate and extended family. Facing such a diagnosis can be overwhelming and leave families with many questions and concerns.”

Link Digital has been working in partnership with Cancer Australia since 2017 and last  year we collaborated to launch a fully redesigned website, as well as customised Drupal 7 based content management update of 10 separate sites and 32 mini-sites.Please share details of the site with any relatives, friends or colleagues who may be in the situation to need the support and guidance it offers.
