Supporting young people impacted by cancer
About us
We get it. Just when life should be full of possibilities, cancer crashes into a young person’s world and shatters everything. Canteen is the game changer. We help young people cope with cancer in their family. Through Canteen, they learn to explore and deal with their feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, we provide specialist, youth-specific treatment teams. By feeling understood and supported, young people develop resilience and can rebuild the foundations that crumbled beneath them when cancer turned their life upside down. That’s how Canteen is the difference. (ABN: 77 052 040 516)

Alongside our partners Camp Quality and Redkite we were delighted to be joined today by Minister for Health the Hon Mark Butler MP to launch the newly expanded Cancer Hub! Our collective vision for Cancer Hub is to make it easier for families impacted by cancer to access the support they need. Since our launch two years ago, we have helped around 4000 families with more than 19,000 support sessions. Thanks to the Australian Government’s funding commitment, we have two key focus areas for this next phase of Cancer Hub. Firstly – doubling our cancer navigation capacity in response to the overwhelming demand during the pilot phase. Secondly - strengthening our work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families through dedicated roles and culturally safe practice. Special thanks to Georgie Gardner for hosting today’s event, to our YARN Member Joel Matysek and to our incredible families who so generously shared their stories.

It’s the end of a Canteen era as Joey Lynch steps down from our youth-led Board of Directors, with CEO Peter Orchard noting that he has been the “beating heart of Canteen." From joining Canteen in 2009 after being diagnosed with cancer, to serving as a Member Director for seven years and securing $5M in funding for clinical trials, Joey’s unwavering passion and leadership have shaped our organisation in profound ways. “Stepping away from Canteen is going to be one of the hardest things I will ever do. I’ll hate doing it. But I won’t fear doing it. Because Canteen, at its core, will always be its young people. And its young people are incredible,” says Joey. At his final AGM at last week's Youth Leadership Festival, Joey shared a moving speech all about the promise of our future young leaders. While we are sad to see Joey move on, we’re grateful for the countless ways he’s made a difference for young people impacted by cancer. Joey, your legacy of inspiration and belief in youth leadership will resonate within Canteen forever. Thank you for everything. https://lnkd.in/g5Q8WTWW

Youth Leadership Festival 2024: Exploring Depths, Reaching Heights 🏔 The Canteen Youth Leadership Festival, held at the Mercure Sydney last weekend, united close to 100 young leaders from Australia and Aotearoa for a transformative weekend of networking and skill development. The event featured a Welcome to Country by Uncle Matthew Doyle, powerful keynotes from former Canteen leader Abhi Malik and Magic Mike (not a stripper), and workshops with experts like Mark Collard, Gabrielle Enright and Wayne Enright, and Rebecca Rourke. 🙌 In his keynote, tongue cancer survivor Abhishek inspired leaders to reach their goals against all odds, having recently conquered Morrocco's Marathon Des Sables, before inviting friend and Mental Fitness Collective founder Hunter Karam to the stage. Leaders had the chance to showcase their innovative "Pitch Your Project" presentations and to unwind and connect each night at a formal dinner and a PJ pizza party. The festival wrapped up with our Annual General Meeting, motivating leaders to amplify their impact within and beyond Canteen. We warmly thank Lagardere AWPL for bringing young leaders together through their sponsorship of the event. 💙 Goodie bag gifts generously provided in kind by Pillow Talk Australia and The Oodie. #CanteenYLF24 #YouthLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Networking
