WHY CLOSER MATTERS
Care should be closer when families need it most.
Closer 2 Care is advocating for dedicated children's oncology capability in Canberra. The campaign is centred on a simple idea: children and families should have access to specialist care as close to home as possible.
Explore the need, hear lived experiences and understand how the Canberra community can help create meaningful change.
