Cancer & Bowel Research Trust has patient accommodation available to assist patients and/or their families needing a place to stay whilst receiving oncology treatment.

This is joint initiative between the Cancer & Bowel Research Trust and its affiliates Breast Cancer Australia and Kids Cancer Research Trust.

There are six residences throughout Australia, all in close proximity to metropolitan hospitals in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

Each residence has two or three bedrooms and is available for up to six persons to stay at any given time. The duration of the stay may range from short term (1 to 3 weeks) to long term (one month to half a year).

The maintenance and ongoing servicing of the patient accommodation is undertaken by the Cancer & Bowel Research Trust and volunteers as well as staff from the metropolitan hospitals affiliated with the residences.

Our aim in presenting these properties is to provide a dignified, private and relaxed accommodation environment for the family and patient during their particular treatment time.
