About us

QYCS provides one integrated model of care from diagnosis through to age 35.

Support changes as a young person's needs change while remaining connected across treating teams, healthcare settings and life stages.

Active treatment

QYCS works alongside the treating oncology, surgical and/or medical team to provide age appropriate medical, nursing and psychosocial support during treatment.

End of treatment transition

As treatment ends, QYCS supports the transition into life beyond cancer.

This includes:

• development of a survivorship care plan and treatment summary
• review of ongoing physical and psychosocial needs
• individualised goal setting
• support to reconnect with primary care
• engaging a trusted GP

On demand support to age 35

After the end of treatment transition, young people can access survivorship support, navigation advice and care coordination as needed until age 35.

There are no routine follow up appointments. Young people can contact QYCS whenever support is needed and do not require a new referral to reconnect with the service.

This model provides flexible access to support while ensuring young people continue to have a trusted point of contact who understands their cancer history and healthcare needs.

QYCS remains available to support both the young person and their healthcare providers as care transitions away from specialist cancer services.
