TLC Courtesy Car Service

Breast cancer patients and their carers are often waiting around metropolitan Melbourne hospitals for several hours in between appointments or investigations (particularly regional and rural patients who have travelled long distances to Melbourne).
 
Our TLC Courtesy Car, 'Rosa-The Lady Bug' driven by trained TLC Volunteer Drivers will collect you and your carer, chauffer you to The Living Centre where you can be served light refreshments in The Lounge, speak with our Breast Care Nurse and Peer Support Volunteers, access the internet, and/or have a Relaxation Massage or one of our TLC Salon Services. You will then be safely driven back to the treating hospital in time for your next appointments.
TLC Courtesy Car Service is FREE OF CHARGE and operates Monday to Friday 10.30am to 3pm
