Hi serentiy11, I wanted to let you know that BCNA doesn't have a 'home stay' program however we have some registered support groups who have set themselves up to be able to support women who travel in from regional and rural areas. One such group is Livin' Laughin' and Lovin' It in Townsville: http://www.bcna.org.au/membergroup/group/livin-laughin-and-lovin-it
If you wanted to find out if there is a service like that in Brisbane I would suggest contacting the Cancer Council who might have such a service. Also contacting hospitals might be an option as they will know of women who are coming in for treatment. It might be worth contacting the group in Townsville to find out how they went about setting up their support service.
Hope that helps, Janelle (BCNA Community Programs Coordinator)
