Team Up
Regular physical activity is an important part of staying healthy after treatment for cancer. TeamUp, a new app launched by VicHealth, offers Victorians information about hundreds of sporting activities happening in their local neighbourhoods. This initiative aims to increase participation, from joining a sports team to kicking the footy in the park with friends. www.teamup.com.au

Cancer Directory
Cancer Directory is the search portal for cancer care information. It provides direct access to the most current, credible and complete range of resources. www.cancerdirectory.com.au
Cancer Tests to Widen
New national guidelines will mean women aged 70 or under who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer can receive genetic testing to look for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. Read more at Petermac.org
Cancer Council Position Statement
Cancer Council Australia has published a new position statement on complementary and alternative therapies. The statement considers the evidence, risks and benefits associated with these therapies. www.cancer.org.au/news

Transport and accommodation challenges
Have you travelled long distances, or had to stay overnight in Melbourne or another centre in order to receive vital cancer treatment? Cancer Council Victoria (CCV) is gathering case studies about transport and accommodation challenges people face when undergoing treatment, with a particular focus on the Victorian Patient Transport Assistance Scheme (VPTAS). If you would like to share your experiences, either anonymously or not, please contact Deborah Lawson, Legal Policy Advisor, McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer, CCV by email at deborah.lawson@cancervic.org.au or phone 9635 5245.
