We were recently contacted by someone from the ABC, who connected us with Rebecca Levingston, the host of the Evening programme on 612, which is broadcast across the state. She invited us onto her programme for “Taboo Tuesday” where she raises topics not easily talked about. Lesley, one of the women in the group joined us, and we had a half hour’s discussion about the service, and about the needs of women with secondary breast cancer, at the new ABC studios on Southbank. We were pleased with the opportunity to do this, and appreciative of the time Rebecca gave us, and the thoughtfulness of her questions and comments.

Include service dates, invoice numbers etc. Ring Centrelink and make an appointment to find out what benefits you are entitled to, e.g. disability support pension, carer’s allowance, carer’s payment. Ring your superannuation board and discuss whether you are entitled to a payout, and what may be involved in accessing your money.
