Cancer & Work
Supporting Your Career Through Cancer
A cancer diagnosis doesn’t just change lives—it transforms workplaces too.
This page is dedicated to supporting employees and organisations as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of working through or after a cancer journey.
Whether you’re an employee living with cancer, a manager looking to provide meaningful support, or a colleague wanting to be an ally, we’re here to guide you.
From practical advice on workplace adjustments to fostering open conversations and building an inclusive culture, we’re committed to helping individuals and teams thrive together.
Cancer can be isolating, but in the right environment, no one has to face it alone.
Let’s create workplaces where compassion, understanding, and strength are part of the everyday.
