What we do
We are a free and confidential service of Women's Health Victoria. Our Peer Support Volunteers have experienced a cancer diagnosis and are here to listen and support you. We also run events online and across Victoria, and provide reliable information.
I would never say I’ve walked in another’s shoes, but having walked a similar path means I can offer support that others aren’t always able to.
Greta, Peer Support Volunteer
I wish I’d found Counterpart earlier in my cancer experience. I may not have felt so alone. To be able to speak to a volunteer would have brought much comfort and information that would have been invaluable.
Helen, Counterpart service user
Meeting other women who also had cancer made me feel less scared, as I realised I was not the only person in this situation.
Massiny, Counterpart service user
It is always so validating to hear other women with cancer talk about their experiences – they provide strength, insight and an opportunity to reflect.
