Patient and Family Events
Time to connect, space to breathe
Sometimes you need to step away from daily life, take a breath and be around people who understand.
Our events and community days offer a chance to connect with others affected by brain cancer, share a laugh, enjoy a mindful or creative activity, or simply slow down.
Held across Australia throughout the year, these gatherings bring our community together to feel supported and less alone.
Our Retreats
Our retreats give you time and space to rest, unwind and reconnect with yourself and others who understand. We offer men’s, women’s, carers’, family and bereaved retreats.
Men’s retreats
Time to step away from everyday pressures and connect with other men affected by brain cancer. A welcoming space to share experiences, enjoy company and feel understood.
Women’s retreats
Space to pause, connect and spend time with other women affected by brain cancer. An opportunity to share stories and find support through shared experiences.
Bereaved retreats
Losing someone to brain cancer can leave you feeling alone in your grief. Our bereaved retreats bring together people who have experienced loss, offering space to remember, talk or simply be with others who understand.
Carers’ retreats
Caring for someone with brain cancer can leave little time for yourself. Our carers’ retreats offer space to take a breath, rest and connect with others who understand the caring role.
Family retreats
Brain cancer affects the whole family. Our family retreats offer time together away from everyday routines, with opportunities to connect with other families and share meaningful moments.
Community days
Our community days are one-day events held in different locations around Australia. They offer a chance to meet others, hear shared experiences and spend time together in a welcoming, relaxed environment.
Come as you are
You don’t have to explain everything or know anyone when you arrive.
Our events offer welcoming spaces where you can feel connected, supported and more like yourself.
There’s a place for you here.
