Support for businesses and staff impacted by cancer
Two in five Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85 - 40% of these will be of working age. The reality is for businesses across Australia, it's not if cancer will impact your employees, it's when.
Leaders in business are often looked at for advice or guidance, but not everyone is prepared for the conversation.
From the diagnosis of a team member to the impact of a loved one’s diagnosis on your staff – knowing how you can support your team is critical. Knowing what your business should have in place, prepared for these moments, is valuable regardless of the size of your business.
Cancer isn’t just a personal issue - it’s a workplace one. Yet most organisations don’t know how to respond.
Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF), in partnership with MyMuse, has created the “Talking About Cancer at Work” Guide - a practical resource for leaders, managers, and teams.
This guide helps your workplace:
- Navigate sensitive conversations with confidence and empathy
- Provide support at every stage of a cancer journey
- Equip managers with practical advice and legal awareness
- Build a culture of flexibility, safety, and understanding
