  • Providing connections to allied health services such as dietitian’s, exercise physiologists, psychologists and more
  • Providing connections to MPA’s wide range of support services and other services as required
  • Encouraging patients to proactively manage their melanoma including practical tips to manage symptoms and side effects
  • Providing information on how to talk to family and friends about your diagnosis
  • Helping patients consider the right questions to ask their oncologist, surgeon and wider health team
  • Providing evidence-based information and resources
