National Advocacy Service
Navigating government support systems after a brain cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, on top of everything else you're already dealing with.
The National Advocacy Service (NAS) is a free service for primary brain tumour patients, carers and families. Our trained advocates sit with you and help you understand what support is available, what you're entitled to, and how to access it.
You don't need to figure it out alone.
What the NAS can help with
Our advocates can support you with:
Applying for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Centrelink claims and payments
Connecting you to local services and resources in your region
General advice and information — by phone or online
Completing paperwork and navigating complex processes
If you're not sure whether the NAS can help with something, please reach out and ask. We're here to listen.
Who the NAS is for
The NAS is available to anyone affected by a primary brain cancer diagnosis in Australia — whether you are a patient, a family member, or a carer.
You don't need to be in crisis to reach out. Whether you've just been diagnosed or you've been navigating the system for a while, our advocates can help at any stage.
A partnership built for Brain Cancer
The National Advocacy Service is a collaboration between Peace of Mind Foundation and Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.
Together, we bring specialist knowledge of brain tumours and the support systems available to Australians living with this diagnosis.
The service launched on 1 November 2021 and has supported hundreds of families across Australia.
