As a Sydney local, I know how much it helps to find support close to home. I am Julie Crawshay, and after my husband Nic's glioblastoma diagnosis, connecting with Sydney and NSW resources made our journey feel a little less isolating.

Sydney's specialist care

Sydney is home to major hospitals and specialist neuro-oncology services. Your treating team can guide you to the most appropriate centre for your situation, and hospital social workers are an invaluable, often underused source of local support information.

Community and connection in NSW

Beyond clinical care, many NSW families find strength in community — support groups, charity networks, and peer connections. National organisations like the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation often have resources relevant to NSW families. I share ongoing education and connection through @the_neuro_farmacist.

A local advocate in your corner

Being based in Sydney, I created The Neuro Farmacist with Australian families in mind. If you are navigating GBM in NSW, you can also read about caregiver support services for Australian families.
