Our impact

Since 2023, supporting people across Australia.

LiveWorkCancer has supported people across Australia to stay connected to work, make informed decisions, and feel more confident navigating what comes next. This is often the first time people speak with others who truly understand what it is like to manage work and cancer at the same time.

Reported work outcomes

For each person, the right outcome looks different.

Around 20–25% of the people we support report a workplace change as a result of our coaching and peer network. But the right outcome isn’t the same for everyone.

For some, that’s returning to work. For others, it’s pausing, changing role, or starting to look. What matters is that it reflects what is right for them.

Improvements in confidence, connection and direction translate into measurable improvements in wellbeing — even when work circumstances haven’t changed.

It was so great to find a group of people who understand what I am going through. The network helps me explore new career options and reminds me I’m not alone.

Where we reach

Across Australia — with the strongest demand in NSW and WA.

Our online delivery means people can access support wherever they are. We’re working to grow our reach into VIC, QLD, SA and regional Australia.

If you’re a healthcare service, employer or community partner outside our current reach, we’d love to hear from you.

Looking ahead

Growing impact where it is needed most.

Demand continues to grow. We are focused on reaching more people, strengthening support for workplaces, and continuing to build the evidence for better work and income outcomes.

Because cancer should not cost anyone their work, their confidence, or their future.

I feel less alone through this regular engagement.
