Dear @Tidden, I too was treated in the public health system for chemo and radiotherapy, after surgery in a private hospital. I had no costs. and was even able to access Isolated Patients Travel Accommodation Assistance Scheme (IPTAAS) to help cover costs for accommodation when I had to travel for radiotherapy. Can Assist have branches in rural, regional and metropolitan areas, and may be able to help with petrol or food vouchers if things get really tight, which they did for me!
