ACCOUNT UPDATE: We will soon be merging this page to our Moving Beyond Cancer page. Rather than splitting our content across our two pages (all things non oncology on this page, and all things oncology on our MBC page), we have decided to combine the two.

We have a lot of exciting content on the horizon so make sure you're following Moving Beyond Cancer on Facebook and on Instagram.

Was so great to meet with Monique Ryan in our studio today and discuss how to address the cost-of-living crisis and the impact it’s having on people with a cancer diagnosis and those wanting to age strong and stable. 

We talked about the importance of removing GST on exercise physiology services (we are one of only two allied health services that are required to charge GST on non-medicare services), and the benefits of increasing the number of Medicare rebatable services for those on an Enhanced Primary Care Plan, from 5 to 10 (due to the complex nature of cancer treatment). 

Making these two simple changes would reduce the financial burden and cost of living for the aged and those living with a cancer diagnosis, and reduce the burden on the Australian government’s health budget.

Swipe to see some fun!

April is month!

Parkinson's disease is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world! Up to 50 Australians🇦🇺 are diagnosed every day (Parkinson's Australia).

💪Exercise is really important - The Parkinson's Outcome Project showed those who started exercising early after diagnosis experienced a slower decline in their quality of life (Parkinson's Foundation).

Spread the word and get in touch if we can help!

Myeloma (aka Multiple Myeloma) is a cancer that develops in a type of white blood cells (plasma cells) in our bone marrow.
Although not as common as some cancers, it is estimated that more than 2,600 people were diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2023. (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2023).

Exercising during Multiple Myeloma treatment (including stem cell transplant) can improve or maintain your:
- Aerobic fitness
- Muscle strength and functional performance
- Balance control
- Sense of wellbeing (Quality of life)
- Reducing fatigue
