There is an option for your child to receive some of their treatment at home. If eligible, your child will be able to spend less time in hospital, and more time at home with their family and friends.

This website provides you with a number of helpful resources to assist you in caring for your child at home. Support will be provided by the Wallaby ward as well as the Oncology team.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Wallaby on 9345 4770.
