The HELP Gippsland Local Service Directory has been developed by the GRICS Consumer Reference Group in response to the request by local cancer patients to be able to find out what services are available to assist them within their local area.

In addition this Directory allows you to:

♦ Document your personal and medical information

♦ Keep appointment cards in the handy plastic sleeve

♦ Store current pathology request slips, recent results or medication list in the plastic pocket

♦ Track your travel and accommodation stays.

This is the first in a suite of information products that will be developed to meet the needs of local cancer patients.

GRICS would like to extend thanks to the members of the GRICS Consumer Reference Group and those other community members who have assisted in the creation, development and review of this document.
