Eat well, feel better. Help is at hand.

Empowering You Through Nutrition: Action Cancer’s Nutrition Service

Discover the vital role nutrition plays in your cancer journey. Research shows that proper nutrition before, during, and after a cancer diagnosis can provide countless benefits—helping you feel more energized, support your immune system, and enhance your overall well-being.

We understand that managing your nutrition after a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. You may have concerns about your diet, appetite changes, or how treatments have affected your eating habits. That’s where we come in.

Action Cancer’s nutrition service will guide and support you. Designed specifically for those diagnosed with cancer, this personalised program is tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re undergoing treatment, managing side effects, navigating palliative care or getting back to living life after cancer.

Led by highly trained and qualified nutritionists, this service is perfect for anyone who feels they need a little extra support or guidance with their diet. Whether you’re facing appetite loss, treatment-related side effects, or simply don’t know where to start with healthy eating, we’ll help you build the knowledge and confidence to nourish your body.

Here's is how it works:

  • Personalised Support: You’ll begin with a one-on-one ‘discovery’ appointment.  Together, we’ll explore your current dietary habits, needs, and personal goals for nutrition and overall health.
  • Tailored nutrition Plan: Based on your assessment, habits and personal goals, together we’ll build a safe, simple, effective and customised nutrition plan that fits your unique needs and preferences.
  • Diet assessment: You’ll compete an online food diary for at least 3 days, recording the food and drink you consume.

Our program is here to help you nourish your body—safely, confidently, and with purpose.

Let us help you take that first step toward a healthier, happier you. Together, we’ll turn “I’m not sure what to eat” into “I feel better every day!”
