The principal objective of this association is the promotion of the cause of support for those who have prostate cancer, or suspect that they may have prostate cancer and their carers, to ensure that such people know they are not alone.
We have been in operation for some years now and became an incorporated association in March 2007. We are an approved DGR recipient with the Australian Taxation Office, which means that donations made to our association are tax deductible.
Our group meetings are held on the third Monday of each month at Lecture Room 1, Learning and Development Block, Nepean Public Hospital, Somerset Street, Penrith NSW, starting at 6.30 pm.
Usually, we have a guest speaker, followed by light refreshments; however, although our guest speakers usually speak for only half an hour, the questions and answers generated sometimes go on for longer than the talk.
Partners and carers are especially welcome and laughter and tears usually balance one another out!!
From time to time, we have open sessions, with no guest speaker, where members discuss and raise issues that are of concern or interest to them.
Our two rules are:
- everything said in the meeting stays in the meeting
- everyone is entitled to their point of view
If you would like to become a member, please contact our Secretary; you do not have to be a member to attend our meetings and no charge is made for attending at any of our meetings.
Thank you for your interest in our group.
