Light the Night

This September, thousands of people will Light the Night at celebrations across Australia.

You can help create a sea of glowing lights by switching on a balloon to remember, celebrate and give hope to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
Each balloon contains a tiny light and has a special meaning.
Enter a team and show people who have been affected by Leukaemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma and related blood disorders that they are not alone!

Superannuation and Insurance

Your superannuation and insurance rights

Accessing your super or making an insurance claim after you’ve been diagnosed with blood cancer can be a nightmare. And how do payouts affect your Centrelink entitlements? Trying to get a new insurance policy can be even worse, with many patients finding they’re denied cover. To help you understand your legal rights, Melbourne-based solicitor John Berrill has provided the Foundation with a series of factsheets.
 
 
To download the factsheets which contain a range of advice – specific for each State and Territory, click on the following link.
