Support for Carers
Caring for someone with a brain tumour or brain cancer is one of the most demanding things a person can do.
These are the resources and services that help most.
Step 1
Connect with a team member
A POMF advocate can connect you with the right support at every stage — practical help, financial assistance, and someone who understands what you're going through.
Step 2
Understand your loved one's diagnosis
Understanding what your loved one is facing helps you ask better questions and feel more in control. These resources explain brain tumour types, grades and what to expect.

Questions to ask your healthcare team about your brain tumour and treatment
Step 3
Manage day-to-day caregiving
Practical challenges can come as a surprise. These resources cover symptom changes, fatigue and the financial pressures that often arise during treatment.
Step 4
Look after yourself
Carer burnout is real, and your wellbeing matters too. These resources are specifically for carers — not as an afterthought, but as part of the care.
Step 5
When care needs change
If your loved one's care is moving into palliative or end-of-life stages, Peace of Mind Foundation is here for this part of the journey too.
