Stage 4 Survivor, Founder
Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Australia
Our lives really do depend on your support.
When we are diagnosed, we do not know what we do not know, but absolutely must as quickly as possible. This is where our Australia Foundation steps in and helps bridge such a crucial gap. We are a Professional Patient-Led Cancer Research and Advocacy Organisation (Charity) that ensures today’s medical research benefits today’s patient survival.

Optimal Patient Response (OPR)
From Passenger To Co-Pilot: An Initiative and a carefully choreographed process that enhances healthcare by transforming the standard-of-care into a more comprehensive ‘standard-of-response’ process. At its core are printed Patient Navigator Journals and supporting digital web-app suite, all designed to better equip and empower the patients capacity to effectively respond and survive their diagnosis. A clear, step-by-step process supported by CCF peer-trained Navigators, Coaches, Hospital Coordinators, and a constructive peer-to-peer community, replacing chaos with calm, and overwhelm with direction.
Light Australia Green
Galvanising Collaboration: The Light Australia Green Initiative is a comprehensive annual campaign focused on raising awareness and driving engagement in bile health and cancer response. Through targeted events, such as hospital-hosted symposiums, landmark illuminations on World Cholangiocarcinoma Day, and an annual conference, the initiative unites key stakeholders to promote collaboration, education and progress in managing bile-related cancers.
