About

The Psycho-oncology Co-operative Research Group (PoCoG) is an organisation of more than 2000 health professionals and researchers working to improve the psychological care of people affected by cancer.

Our work focuses on caring for the whole person from the time of diagnosis throughout the whole cancer journey.

It is also about increasing people’s ability to enjoy life and achieve psychological resilience in the face of a disease that can be both chronic and life-limiting.

We are a Cancer Cooperative Trials Group and receive funding from Cancer Australia.

The PoCoG Executive Office is our central operations unit, which is in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney.

The Policy and Procedures Manual governs the day-to-day running of our organisation.

For Patients and Carers

Please note, PoCoG is a research organisation and we don’t provide counselling or support services to patients and their carers.

However, there are many organisations that do offer these services. Here is a list of organisations that may be able to help you.
