Rise Above

Rise Above is a small, independent charity supporting the ACT and Queanbeyan-Palerang regions. At Rise Above, we try to help make the cancer fight just a little bit easier. For over 30 years, we have supported our patients and their families by providing financial and in-kind assistance to help them manage the financial impact of cancer on their lives by: • offsetting the cost of the health and medical services. • helping with the unforeseen costs associated with care. • alleviating some of the pressure of treatment and recovery on their ability to live, work, and study. We aim to provide financial relief in a way that allows our patients to maintain their independence, build resilience, and strengthen their relationships at a difficult time.
