While Counterpart celebrated our 15th birthday in 2018, we were also busy continuing to connect, support and inform women with breast or a gynaecological cancer to live well. We close over the holiday season to give our Peer Support Volunteers a break from their important work and an opportunity to recharge.

The Counterpart Resource Centre will reopen on Monday 14 January 2019.

If you need to talk to someone, Counterpart Peer Support Volunteers will provide limited phone support between Monday 17 December to Thursday 20 December and between Wednesday 2 January and Thursday 10 January. Counterpart staff will also respond to calls and emails over that time.

You can also ring the Cancer Council's Helpline on 13 11 20 if you want to talk to someone over the Christmas/New Year period. The helpline operates over the entire period, except public holidays.

Our next What's On and Making Connections programs will be available in mid-January 2019.
