Some moments from our Lift team’s all-staff dinner, bringing together the clinicians and administrators who sit at the heart of patient care.

Our people are our greatest strength, united by shared values of accessibility, care and empowerment.

Evenings like these are a chance to step away from the rooms, connect, recharge, and share stories, strengthening the care we bring to every patient.

Susie has always understood the importance of checking her breasts.

Despite a clear mammogram, she continued her monthly self-check, both through touch and by sight. It was during one of these checks that she noticed a change and acted quickly.

As a Lift patient and member of our Consumer Advisory Board, Susie is passionate about raising awareness of the importance of being familiar with your own breasts.

“You have to know your breasts; what they feel like and what they look like.”

“I found my cancer in July, and I didn’t find it by feel; I found it by sight. I always chose the first of the month to check. I’d look in the mirror front on, put my arms in the air, look underneath, then turn side on. What I saw looked a bit like a goose bump.”

Knowing what’s normal for you can make all the difference.

Prince Harry visited AFL club the Western Bulldogs for day two of the Duke and Duchesses’ Australia tour.

The visit has put global attention on men’s health, shining a spotlight on Movember and the importance of awareness, early detection, and open conversations.

At Lift Cancer Care Services, this is a cause we’ve long championed through our Movember initiatives and community-led campaigns.

Last year, our team wore high-vis to stand out and spark vital conversations around men’s health and cancer awareness.

Because behind every campaign are real people, real families, and real journeys.

Moments like this matter, but ongoing support changes lives. Let’s use this moment as a reminder to check in, speak up, and have the conversations that count.

Do I need a referral to access services at Lift Cancer Care?

Exercise Medicine

No referral is required. If you don’t have one when booking your Initial Assessment, we can reach out to your treating team for any relevant information - always with your consent.

Physio, Dietetics, Psychology & Lymphoedema Screening

No, you don’t need a referral for these services either. You can book directly with us. In many cases, your Specialist or GP may recommend Lift if they believe you’ll benefit from our treatment.

Will my doctor be involved?

Yes, with your consent, we communicate with your oncologist, surgeon, GP, or wider treating team to ensure everyone is informed and aligned with your care.

If you’re unsure where to start, our team is here to help guide you

You may already know our Founder, Lauren Whiting, through her work at Lift, but there’s more to the impact she’s making in cancer care.

Lift was founded on a simple belief: people going through cancer should be connected with prescribed Exercise Medicine from the moment of diagnosis, and it should be recognised as a medical treatment, not an optional extra.

That belief continues to shape how we care for patients every day, and how our model of care evolves.

Alongside her work at Lift, Lauren is also sharing insights more broadly, advocating for change in line with one of our core values, Accessibility, so more people can access the information, support and care they need.

Follow on Instagram for a closer look at the thinking behind Lift, the evolution of our model of care, and the work driving change in cancer care.

At Lift Cancer Care Services, we believe Exercise Medicine is a powerful prescription for cancer patients.

When delivered as part of our integrated services, it can transform outcomes for people with cancer.

At the heart of Lift is our Model of Care, an integrated approach that supports every person through the physical, emotional and practical challenges of cancer.

Exercise Medicine isn’t an add-on, it’s a vital component of treatment and should be prescribed alongside other medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and other clinical interventions.

In the lead-up to Easter, our team embraced the spirit of fun, silliness and joy, donning bunny ears, with some even taking it a step further in full costumes!

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team for their enthusiasm and commitment to creating these moments of connection and care.

And to our patients, thank you for leaning into the lightness, even during some of your most challenging days. It’s these shared moments that help us build deeper, more meaningful human connections.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter, we hope you find time to embrace a little childlike fun along the way.

Come inside our recent Lift Cancer Care Services staff dinner.

Moments like this are about so much more than just getting together, they’re about strengthening the care we provide to every patient we support.

By taking the time to connect, share stories, and enjoy a few laughs, our team builds deeper trust and understanding with one another.

And in cancer care, that connection is everything.

Because when a team feels supported and connected, communication flows more easily, collaboration becomes second nature, and ultimately, our patients receive better care.

One of the most meaningful moments at our recent staff dinner wasn’t just celebrating achievements, it was remembering why we do what we do.

Alongside our values awards for accessibility, care, and empowerment, we present something incredibly special: the Mark Naley Award.

This award is peer-nominated and recognises the team member who consistently goes above and beyond, someone who truly lives all three of our values in action.
But more importantly, it carries a story.

Mark Naley was a patient in Lift’s very first year. An ex-VFL/AFL player living with a brain tumour, Mark believed deeply in the power of exercise as medicine alongside his treatment.

He became one of our earliest champions, using his voice and profile to help spread awareness and support what we were building.

After Mark passed, we were honoured to name this award after him with the blessing of his wife.

Now, twice a year, we pause to reflect on Mark’s story and on the people in our team who continue his legacy through the way they show up for others.

There are always a few tears. But more than anything, it’s a grounding moment. A reminder of our purpose, our impact and why it matters.

At , we believe this needs to change.

That’s why we’re proud to launch the Lift Clinical Fellowship, beginning with our Lymphoedema Physiotherapy stream.

The successful fellow will receive:

• Accredited lymphoedema training through Macquarie University
• Mentoring from Lift’s multidisciplinary team
• Employment with Lift Cancer Care Services, supporting people living with and beyond cancer
• A clear pathway into specialist cancer care

Because improving cancer outcomes isn’t just about treatment, it’s about investing in the clinicians who support patients every day.

If you’re an experienced physiotherapist ready to specialise and make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Applications are now open for our 2026 Clinical Fellow. link in bio to apply.

Last week, our team came together at Jarmer’s Kitchen for our bi-annual all-staff dinner and awards night, a special evening to celebrate and recognise the people who bring Lift’s values to life every day through the Lift Awards.

We are incredibly proud to congratulate Annie, Exercise Physiologist, on receiving the esteemed Mark Naley Award (11 March 1961 – 6 July 2020).

During his time as a patient at Lift, Mark embodied our core values of Accessibility, Care, and Empowerment. Over three years, he faced a series of aggressive brain tumours with remarkable courage, becoming not only an inspiration but also a dear friend to Lift Cancer Care Services. Through this award, we honour his legacy and continue to be inspired by his strength and spirit.

It has been wonderful to celebrate our award winners throughout the week. The energy in the Exercise Medicine Clinic has been especially uplifting, with team members and patients alike sharing in the excitement and recognising the achievements of our winners.

Moments like these remind us just how special it is to be part of a community united by shared values, purpose, and care.
