We are here to help provide support to people with cancer and their whānau across Kāpiti, Wairarapa, Marlborough and Nelson-Tasman. We are the Wellington Division of the Cancer Society.
Our Wellington office is across the road from Wellington Regional Hospital in Newtown. You can find our other support centres in:
The Cancer Society at the Orange Traffic Light setting
The Cancer Society Wellington will continue to provide clients with support and information throughout the Orange Traffic Light setting. Our office will be open to the public with pre-screening questions, social distancing and mask use in place.
Cancer Society Wellington Division will continue to provide clients with support and information throughout the Orange Traffic Light setting. Our Cancer Support Nurses will be available for face-to-face appointments, on our Cancer Information Helpline 0800 CANCER (226 237) and by email at info@cancersoc.org.nz. Groups and programmes will be running under the Orange Traffic Light setting and masks will be used in instances where social distancing cannot be managed.
Margaret Stewart House will remain open for those who need to travel to Wellington for treatment. Patients can bring one support person. Unfortunately, we do not allow visitors to enter the building or children to stay at Margaret Stewart House during the Orange Light setting.
During Orange, our Driving Service is available and clients and drivers must be masked. We do not allow clients to bring support people during the Orange Light setting, and clients must sit in the back seat. We take clients regardless of their vaccination status.
