Australian-based Support Services

We understand the diagnosis of mesothelioma has a big impact on the patient and their family members, friends or carers. The AMR doesn't have the skills or expertise to provide a specialised counselling service or give professional medical advice. We encourage patients to talk to their doctors if they are concerned about their diagnosis. They may also find the following support sites useful:
