Engaging in safe and appropriate exercise throughout your journey with cancer will have an incredibly beneficial impact on your wellbeing. Our goal is to help you make exercise a positive focus in your life so you can live your best life throughout treatment and beyond.

Our Moving Beyond Cancer program empowers people with a cancer diagnosis to:

Focus on something you can control.
Realise the many benefits that exercise has for people with a cancer diagnosis.
Receive a safe and effective exercise program tailored to individual needs. Using vast clinical experience and specialist skills we design a safe and effective exercise regime according to your individual needs.
Be supported and guided by experienced clinicians who understand oncology. Relationships are important to us. In our first session we spend time getting to know you and better understand your situation and discuss what a good support structure looks like for you. We will be with you from the beginning and offer as much or as little guidance as you need to ensure you live your best life throughout treatment and beyond.
Take the opportunity to join a supportive network with like-minded people.
