Caring better, together.

About the Wellbeing Centre

The Wellbeing Centre is the result of a shared vision: to create a calm, supportive sanctuary for our patients, their families and caregivers before, during and after treatment. 

It is a place to step away from the clinical environment, take a deep breath, and focus on emotional, practical and social wellbeing.

This Centre represents our commitment to holistic care, recognising that health is not just about treating the body, but also about nurturing the mind and supporting emotional wellbeing. Whether it is through workshops, informal conversations, or simply taking a moment to relax in one of our peaceful spaces, we hope the Wellbeing Centre makes a meaningful difference to everyone who walks through its doors.

The St Andrew's Wellbeing Centre is made possible with the generous support of private benefactors, HPS Pharmacies, and the St Andrew's Hospital Foundation.

Supporting your journey

We know that connection is essential to wellbeing. 

The World Health Organization recently reaffirmed that good quality social connection plays a vital role in reducing loneliness and improving health outcomes.

Through shared spaces and programs designed to foster genuine connection and belonging, the Wellbeing Centre plays a part in reducing social isolation - particularly at a time when patients and caregivers may feel most alone. We are proud to offer a space where community, inclusion and care are prioritised.

Membership is free for two years to all patients currently undergoing cancer care at St Andrew’s Hospital or the St Andrew’s Chemotherapy Suite.

Your partner, carer or friend is also welcome to register with you. Programs are available exclusively to registered members and their guests.

What our members are saying...

"You are all very special people who care about our wellbeing. Thank you so much for everything."

"I’m very grateful for the opportunities to indulge in ‘self time’ & want to thank all volunteers."

"A beautiful place, very calm and restful."

"Thank you for all the kind thoughts and genuine support you all have contributed so far."

"I’ve booked in for a couple of sessions but had to cancel because I’ve been unwell on the day. This has always been accepted with kindness and understanding. I’m hoping to become more involved now that I’ve had surgery and completed chemotherapy. Thanks so much for the experiences and compassion I’ve experienced so far."
