Participate in a Trial in Callaghan, NSW

The University of Newcastle has announced that they're starting a new trial for a lifestyle intervention in cancer survivors and carers.

The intervention consists of six 2 hour group education sessions (first 4 are weekly, last 2 are fortnightly) where you will be informed about exercise and diet and they will track your behavior for a bit. You are also provided with a Gymstick to perform exercises in your home.

Fiona Stacey seems to be in charge of running the program. They mention that interested parties can sign up through the Cancer Council NSW, but I haven't found a direct link for their program. If you call their helpline, hopefully they'll be able to direct you.
