Blood cancer support, designed for your needs
The Leukaemia Foundation helps any Australian with any kind of blood cancer.
Who we are
Care belongs where you do
We know the impact blood cancer can have on someone’s life. There are over 120 different types of blood cancer and disorders including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. We’re here to help manage the rollercoaster of emotions and help people with the care they need – from emotional support to accommodation assistance for people travelling from regional areas for treatment.
