What CanRevive Inc. All Rights Reserve | Website by 51web Australia does

CanRevive Inc. is a Sydney-based nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1995 by two cancer survivors and one carer to provide free cancer support services to Chinese-speaking (Mandarin and Cantonese) cancer patients and their families. It operates five service centres across Greater Sydney — Haymarket (CBD), Hurstville, Chatswood, Westmead, and a Liverpool outreach hub — and delivers the "Living with Cancer" information program inside eight partner hospitals. The service mix comprises cancer-type and regional peer support groups (lung, breast, prostate, haematology, gynaecological), home and hospital visits, palliative care support (including the "Light in the Darkness" program), phone support, public information sessions, complementary therapy/interest classes, a bilingual Doctors Canlink referral directory, and social/community events. There is no proprietary technology platform; digital assets are limited to a trilingual website, quarterly PDF newsletter, info booklets, audio recordings, and a video library on YouTube.

The organization is governed by a volunteer Executive Committee led by President Eric Yeung (楊諾賢), with Vice President Raymond Chan, Treasurer Edmond Chan, and Secretary Caroline Mak, and is supported by Honorary Patron Justice Peter Garling RFD. Fundraising and financial accountability sit within the separate CanRevive Cancer Foundation (established June 2011), chaired by Stephen Liu AM, with Peter Sinn JP as Vice Chairman. CanRevive is not owned by, affiliated with, or financially controlled by any parent company, private equity firm, or institutional investor.

All services are provided free of charge to clients. Operating revenue is sourced from individual donations, corporate sponsors, community organization grants, annual charity dinners (400-600 attendees at recent anniversary events), and government grants from bodies including the NSW Cancer Institute and Georges River Council. The organization serves a single beneficiary segment — Chinese-speaking cancer patients and their carers in Sydney — through a model that combines trained survivor/carer volunteers (over 100), paid staff, and clinician-supplied content delivered in partnership with hospitals and Chinese community organizations.
