Prostate Cancer Action Group (S.A.) Inc.

- A group of people concerned with prostate cancer issues who meet at the Cancer Council South Australia to plan services for people with prostate cancer.

- Prostate Cancer Action Group (S.A.) Inc. Constitution

This website is provided as a public service to create awareness and education about prostate cancer.

This Group, either as a Group or individually, does not treat or prescribe for any human disease, and is not a provider of professional advice. Nor does it purport to act as a provider of any professional advice. If any man has concerns about his prostate health, he should consult a health professional. The Group acts as a means of creating an awareness of prostate health, and encourages men to take a more proactive interest in their overall health situation, by promoting stimulation for independent thought and analysis.

Members of the group are available to speak at meetings. See contact details on Support Page.

Please note also that three of our members are part of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia Men's Health Ambassador Speaker Program and are available to give a Prostate Cancer Presentation in South Australia. (Ian on 8296 3350, Dean on 8390 3030, or David on 8270 2227) Anywhere, Any day, Any time at no cost!
From April 2009 there are 6 new Ambassadors in SA as part of 'Men's Health Ambassador Speaker Program' ring 1800 206 700 to book one.

There are details of the Ambassadors program here. ("Please contact the PCFA on Email or 1800 206 700 to arrange a speaker.")

The group does not recommend any particular treatment or product, and stresses that it is important that any person should consult his/her health professional before making any decision about any treatments.

A fund titled ‘the Trevor Hunt Scholarship Fund’ has been set up by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia as a tribute to this great man and long serving National SAC and Action group member in South Australia.
All donations for other tributes should be channelled into this fund to honour the wishes of Coralie Hunt and her children. The money will go assist in the training Prostate Nurses working in SA.
Simply use an In Memoriam envelope and mark it ‘in memory of Trevor Hunt’ so that all donations are allocated to the correct fund.
