Cancer care should never depend on your postcode.💛 Many WA families face both treatment-related and out-of-pocket costs after a cancer diagnosis. Some spend over 10% of their household income on travel to treatment, parking, supportive care, and medication. Currently, patients in Midland, Kalamunda, Wooroloo, and surrounding areas must travel long distances or pay significant out-of-pocket costs, while nearby facilities could provide radiation cancer treatment if the Government provided equitable funding. We need equitable access to free radiation therapy close to home. Sign the petition to the WA Legislative Council and help ensure no cancer patient is disadvantaged by where they live.
