Hunter Prostate Cancer awareness & Support group

Our Services

Providing support, education, and community connection for men and families affected by prostate disease through meetings, information, and awareness programs.

Meetings

We bring people together to share experiences, learn, and find support in a relaxed and caring environment.

Monthly Meetings

Where:   Wallsend Diggers, 5 Tyrell Street, Wallsend (lower Mezz Bar)

When:   2:00 pm, every second Tuesday of the month. (except January)

Who:  You, your spouse/partner, carer are all welcome to attend

These are “drop-in” meetings where you can :-

– listen to others outline their experiences

– share your own experiences, if you wish to

– ask questions in a non-judgemental setting

– listen to invited guest speakers and ask questions

– access PCFA Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurses from the Mater (subject to

workloads)

– talk to other spouses/partners and share experiences and advice

The meetings are semi-informal, and some members take the opportunity to have a

cuppa or drink after the meeting.

Next Meeting: Tuesday 11th November 2025 at 2pm
