  • Following a child’s diagnosis, life changes significantly. Families begin a journey of uncharted territory, where they learn to adapt to a ‘new normal’ of life with cancer. Adjusting to these changes is difficult and takes its toll on every member of the family - patient, parent, and sibling(s).
    This is where Challenge steps in. Sometimes you do not know what it is you need until someone shows you.
    Challenge aims to manage the impact of a cancer diagnosis by addressing the emotional, social, and practical needs of your family. Whether it is help at home or a weekend away, we tailor our services to meet the requirements of each individual within the family unit.
    Membership is free and available to families with a child aged 18 years old or under and who has been diagnosed with cancer or a life- threatening blood disorder. Siblings are also encouraged to sign up as members.
    Some of our services include:
    Programs for children: Camps, hospital support and activity days, playgroup sessions, movie days, music therapy and massage therapy.
    Programs for families: Lunches and weekends away, home help, holiday accommodation, transportation and financial assistance, activities
    Scholarships and Trusts: Academic and creative scholarships for primary, secondary and tertiary students
    Bereavement services: Support and advice, social groups and retreats
