Caring for someone with cancer can be an enormous responsibility, often taken on without warning.

When a mum is diagnosed with cancer, her partner, family and friends may suddenly find themselves taking on a caring role – navigating appointments, managing day-to-day life, caring for children and supporting her through the uncertainty.

It can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be exhausting and overwhelming. Carers need care and support, too.

This year’s National Carers Week theme, Care for a carer: Making carers visible, is a reminder to recognise the people behind the caring role.

At Mummy’s Wish, we recognise and value the important role carers play in supporting mums with cancer. We’re here to support the whole family through this experience.

With Christmas fast approaching, why not turn something you’re already planning into a fundraiser for mums living with cancer?

You could:

🌭 host a Christmas BBQ or lunch
🧁 organise a Christmas raffle, morning tea or bake sale
🏃‍➡️ create a personal challenge with friends
🫶 ask friends and family to donate instead of giving gifts
💡 or come up with your own fundraising idea!

Our online platform lets you quickly create your own fundraising page, share updates and collect donations, with tax-deductible receipts sent straight to your supporters.

Every fundraiser helps Mummy’s Wish support mums and families when they need it most. And of course, we’re here to help along the way too!

🔷 Workplace rights and common challenges
🔷 Reasonable adjustments
🔷 Setting healthy boundaries
🔷 Navigating work during and after treatment
🔷 What meaningful workplace support can look like
🔷 Featuring expertise from Peter Mac and a lived experience advocate, the session also explores the unique challenges of navigating work with a rare or less common cancer.

The theme of Mental Health Month this year is Together We Thrive.

It’s a reminder that while life can sometimes feel overwhelming, we don’t have to navigate it alone. Connection, understanding and support can make a meaningful difference to our mental health and wellbeing.

For mums facing cancer, the emotional load can feel particularly heavy. Balancing treatment, motherhood, family and everything in between can be challenging, and it’s important to remember that you don’t have to do it alone.

Staying well through cancer can involve a lot more than just the clinical side of treatment.

Looking after your mental and emotional wellbeing can be equally critical.

That’s why we’ve developed the Jem Program – an evidence-based program full of resources to help people live well with and beyond cancer.

The Jem Program website is packed with information about complementary therapies that can help manage symptoms and side effects, and promote overall wellbeing.

There’s also a suite of articles providing practical advice to help you be kind to yourself during cancer, and a beautiful journal available to purchase – the ideal companion for your own cancer journey, or gift for a loved one.

Come along to one of our next Mummy’s Wish support groups.

Each month, mums from across the country who have been diagnosed with cancer catch up to share their experiences, connect with each other and feel less alone.

The group runs via phone or videoconference, making it easy to connect from wherever you are, and mums and bubs are welcome!

It’s a place to ask questions, share experiences, talk about how you’re feeling, and share all the us and downs that can come with cancer and motherhood – alongside other people who really understand.

If you’d like to join an upcoming group, email: [email protected]

Motherhood is easier when you have a village - people who can relate to what your children are up to, offer their tips, celebrate milestones alongside you or provide solidarity in the more challenging times.

Our Mummy’s Wish support group is like that too.

It brings together mums who have been diagnosed with cancer - mums who really understand what this experience is like for each other.

In each group, you can share, listen, learn, and connect with other mums who get it, and who can offer genuine support to help you feel less alone, no matter where you are in your cancer experience.

Join one of our upcoming groups by emailing [email protected]

A cancer diagnosis can mean different things for people’s work and career.

For some people, continuing to work when they’re able to provides a sense of purpose, normality and financial security.

For others, it means a break from work to focus on treatment and recovery, then navigating a return to the workforce, or giving up work entirely.

Rare Cancers Australia is presenting a webinar on Work and cancer, exploring how to navigate your work or career alongside a cancer diagnosis, treatment or survivorship.

We’ll hear from Olivia Doidge, Patient Employment Consultant at Peter Mac, drawing on experiences and insights from Peter Mac's recent Work and Cancer project.

The session will cover topics including:

🔷 common workplace challenges
🔷 workplace rights
🔷 reasonable adjustments
🔷 setting healthy boundaries
🔷 what meaningful workplace support can look like.

There will also be a live Q&A session for attendees to engage with the discussion.

📆 Tuesday 22 September
🕛️ 12.30pm - 1.30pm (AEST)

We know when you’re a mum, finding time for yourself can be tricky.

But we know you also want to make sure you’ve planned for the future for those you love the most.

Everyone should have a Will, and that’s why Mummy’s Wish has partnered with Safewill.

Using Safewill’s online platform, you’ll be stepped through the process of writing your Will - and usually, it only takes around 20 minutes.

No racing to appointments squeezed between the kids’ activities, and no expensive fees.

Once you’ve created your Will, it’s checked by Safewill’s legal team. And if your plans change, you can log back into the platform and update your Will.

And right now, as part of the Charity Free Wills Fortnight, writing your Will with Safewill is completely free!
