The Cancer Wellness Program at Greenslopes Private Hospital marks its ninth year this year, and for the nearly 10,000 patients who pass through the hospital’s doors for cancer treatment each year, it remains a vital part of what the Greenslopes community offers.
Funded by Gallipoli Medical Research, the program has been running since 2017 as a free, donor-supported resource for cancer patients and their families. It does not treat the disease itself. What it treats is everything else: the fear, the isolation, the exhaustion, the sense that life has been picked up and shaken. For nine years, it has been putting people back in the room with others who actually understand what that feels like.
What the Program Actually Does
The Cancer Wellness Program is committed to equipping patients and their families with the advice, resources and support they need for a smoother pathway through treatment and beyond. When a patient feels supported, informed and empowered to focus on their wellbeing during a time of illness, the entire outlook of their cancer experience can change dramatically.
In practice, that means peer group sessions, survivorship education, expert-led workshops and hands-on creative activities that range from kokedama workshops to petting zoos and pony rides. The program operates on a simple but powerful insight: that people who have been through cancer treatment understand each other in a way that even the most caring friends and family sometimes cannot.
Jenny Chaves joined the program in 2023, after chemotherapy and surgery for cancer. Now in remission but still living with the lasting effects of treatment, she describes what the program gave her in plain terms.
“Cancer changes every aspect of your life during and after treatment,” she said. “This program helped me get back on track. The peer support from people who understand my experience has been absolutely vital to my health journey.”
“People around you often expect things to go back to normal after your treatment ends. But it doesn’t work like that. In this group, everyone gets it. It’s a safe space where we are supported and can be ourselves.”
The Bit That Often Goes Unspoken
One of the things the program has understood from the beginning is that cancer treatment does not end when the last chemotherapy session does. The side effects, the anxiety, the recalibration of identity and daily life, all of that continues well into remission and beyond. The survivorship education sessions the program offers address that reality directly, giving participants the knowledge and resources to navigate what comes after the acute phase of treatment.
“When treatment starts, you’re just trying to get through each day,” Jenny said. “The survivorship session was fantastic. It gave me knowledge to navigate my health journey and resources to get back on track.”
The creative workshops serve a different but equally important function. Kokedama, craft stalls, ANZAC Day poppies, all of it pulls participants out of the hospital-and-side-effects loop that cancer can create, back into something that is just theirs for an hour.
“Cancer is all-consuming. Your world shrinks to hospitals and side effects. Doing something creative pulls you out of that space. It brings you into the present moment and helps restore some balance,” Jenny said.
“We have such a good laugh. That sense of humour, of being seen and understood, is a real tonic. It lifts your spirit.”
Where Nine Years Gets You
After nine years, the program’s reach across Greenslopes is significant. With close to 10,000 patients receiving cancer treatment at the hospital every year, the community of people who could benefit from it is large and constantly renewing. Former participants like Jenny have gone on to give back to the program, helping run stalls and workshops that both raise funds and keep the sense of purpose alive.
“It felt amazing to tell people that buying these crafts helps support someone like me,” she said. “It might seem small, but it gave us a real sense of purpose.”
A Program That Belongs to Greenslopes
Nine years is not an accident. Programs like this survive because communities sustain them, through donations, through volunteering, through local artisans who offer their time to run a workshop, and through the participants who keep showing up and bringing new people in.
For Greenslopes and the surrounding southside suburbs, having a hospital that offers not just treatment but genuine human support for the people going through cancer is something worth knowing about. Whether you or someone you love is currently in treatment, in remission or just starting to look for what comes next, the Cancer Wellness Program is worth a phone call.

A crash involving a vehicle carrying diesel in Greenslopes caused major disruption on the Pacific Motorway, with lane closures leading to long traffic delays.
A crash on the northbound Pacific Motorway at Greenslopes on March 17, 2026 resulted in a diesel spill that affected morning traffic across Brisbane’s south.
Emergency services were called between about 5.30 a.m. and 5.45 a.m. near exit 5, where the incident occurred. Reports differed on the type of vehicle involved, with accounts describing a ute towing a trailer, a truck carrying a diesel tank, and a diesel tanker involved in a collision.
Despite these differences, it was consistently reported that diesel was released onto the roadway, requiring immediate clean-up and traffic management.
Authorities closed multiple northbound lanes following the crash, reducing traffic to a single lane for several hours. These restrictions remained in place until approximately 8.25 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. while crews worked to clear the spill.
Traffic queues extended well beyond the crash site. Congestion was reported to have reached between 14 kilometres and more than 17 kilometres at different stages of the morning.
Motorists experienced significant delays, with some sections of the motorway slowing to about 5 km/h. In other areas, traffic moved gradually at speeds of up to 45 km/h.
Flow-on congestion was also reported on nearby routes, including the Gateway Motorway northbound through Stretton.
Driver Treated And Transported
One person involved in the crash sustained a head injury. The individual was treated at the scene before being transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.
Emergency crews remained on site for several hours to complete the clean-up and safely reopen the affected lanes.
The Greenslopes crash drew attention online, where social media users posted a mix of humour, speculation and commentary about the diesel spill and resulting delays.
By later in the morning, traffic conditions gradually improved as lanes reopened and congestion eased across the motorway network.
Ongoing Impact On Greenslopes Commuters
The incident caused widespread disruption for commuters travelling through Greenslopes during peak morning hours. The combination of lane closures and clean-up operations contributed to extended delays across multiple routes.
In Greenslopes, a suburb defined by major health facilities, busy arterial roads and urban parkland, koalas are not the first thing that come to mind. Yet publicly available sighting records show a citizen sighting has been reported in the suburb and more recently, others in the surrounding suburbs.
Several of those records appear in citizen-science databases, where residents log wildlife sightings with dates, locations and often photographs. The iNaturalist place page for Greenslopes includes a 2024 koala observation among the species recorded locally. It also records several more recent observations in neighbouring suburbs. These platforms do not measure population size, and multiple entries may relate to the same animal. However, they do provide verifiable evidence that koalas have been observed within the broader inner-south landscape.
Queensland’s environment department also runs an official reporting pathway via the QWildlife app and publishes an interactive dashboard of reported koala sightings. The department’s guidance makes it clear that sightings are not a population survey, and that multiple reports may relate to the same animal. However, reporting helps build a clearer picture of when and where koalas are seen.
It’s important not to over-interpret a handful of pins on a map. A koala record in a suburb doesn’t automatically mean koalas are “back” in a stable, breeding way, especially in highly built-up areas.
What these databases can do well is show where people are encountering koalas, and where repeated reports might justify extra attention: safer road design, habitat restoration, or community education.
This context matters because koalas in Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT are listed as Endangered under national environmental law. That listing reflects broad, long-term pressures (especially habitat loss and fragmentation) and is a reminder that even small local actions that reduce injury and mortality can be meaningful.
What makes a suburb risky for koalas?
Across urban Australia, two commonly cited risks for koalas moving through suburbs are vehicle strikes and dog attacks. In the inner-south, where roads are frequent and traffic volumes can be high, managing collision risk is a practical issue — not an abstract one.
Brisbane has already debated measures such as fencing and speed limits in other koala-adjacent areas. For example, koala fencing and speed limit changes on Boundary Road and the public discussion around whether those measures are sufficient.
There is also local government documentation showing that “where strikes happen” can be mapped and assessed. A Brisbane City Council tabled paper (PDF) examines koala roadkill mitigation options around a reserve area and includes analysis intended to inform decision-making.
The practical implication is straightforward in Greenslopes. If koalas are recorded in the wider inner-south, some will occasionally travel on the ground between trees, which can bring them into contact with roads, especially near connected green spaces and drainage lines.
What’s happening locally: habitat work along
Greenslopes sits within the Norman Creek catchment, which includes pockets of parkland and creekside vegetation that support a range of wildlife. One active on-the-ground effort is habitat restoration at Greenslopes DCP, led by theNorman Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee. Their project pages describe weed control and revegetation activities to improve local habitat conditions.
It’s not necessary to label every restoration site “koala habitat” to recognise the broader benefit: healthier, better-vegetated creek corridors can improve urban biodiversity and provide more shade and canopy connectivity for many native species.
If you have time to spare, keep an eye on volunteer opportunities. Weed removal and planting days are practical, local ways to strengthen habitat quality.
3) Add native plants at home if you have space.
Backyard trees and shrubs can help connect habitat patches. Brisbane’s Free Native Plants program is a low-cost way to start, especially for renters and small gardens.
4) Drive cautiously near green spaces at night and early morning.
If you’re travelling near parks or creek lines after dark or around dawn, slow down and scan the road edges. Cautious driving reduces collision risk for all wildlife, not just koalas.
Greenslopes doesn’t need to become a wilderness to play a role in conservation. But the publicly available data suggests it’s worth paying attention. Recording sightings, restoring habitat where possible, and reducing avoidable risks are all within reach for an ordinary suburb.
More than a decade ago, Brisbane adopted the Norman Creek 2012–2031 Catchment Master Plan — an ambitious, long-term vision to restore one of the city’s most heavily urbanised waterways. Part of that transformation involves Hanlon Park / Bur’uda, a once-concrete drainage corridor that has become a green, thriving community space and a flagship example of what the master plan set out to achieve.
At the centre of that transformation is Hanlon Park / Bur’uda, a once-concrete drainage corridor that has become a green, thriving community space and a flagship example of what the master plan set out to achieve.
The Norman Creek Catchment Master Plan was launched in 2012 as a 20-year strategy to reconnect people, parks and neighbourhoods with the creek system stretching from Toohey Forest to the Brisbane River. Rather than focusing on isolated upgrades, the plan aimed to rehabilitate the entire catchment — improving water quality, restoring habitat, managing flood risk and creating accessible, high-quality public spaces.
Hanlon Park / Bur’uda: a project delivered and celebrated
Completed and opened to the public in 2022, Hanlon Park / Bur’uda represents one of the master plan’s most significant achievements to date.
Where a cracked concrete channel once rushed stormwater downstream, a naturalised, meandering creek now flows through the park. Hundreds of native trees and tens of thousands of shrubs and groundcovers were planted, creating habitat, shade and cooler conditions. Walking and cycling paths, picnic areas and a nature-based playground have transformed the park into a daily destination for families, commuters and local workers.
The project also delivered vital flood resilience, allowing water to spread and slow during heavy rain rather than surge through a narrow channel. Early ecological monitoring has shown a sharp increase in fish numbers and species diversity, demonstrating that nature is returning to the heart of the suburb.
Hanlon Park / Bur’uda has also received multiple awards and professional recognition, celebrating its excellence in design, sustainability and urban waterway transformation. These awards acknowledge the project’s innovative approach to combining landscape architecture, ecological restoration and community amenity — putting the site on the map as a national benchmark for urban creek rehabilitation.
Coorparoo Creek Park works, helping daylight sections of the creek and create new green space within a growing urban centre
Upgraded walking and cycling links along Norman Creek and connecting suburbs
Extensive revegetation and weed management, much of it supported by community volunteer groups
Improved stormwater management, reducing pollution entering the creek system
These projects collectively reflect the plan’s core idea: that waterways are not just infrastructure, but social, ecological and cultural assets.
Where we are now in 2026
With several major projects delivered, the Norman Creek program has entered a consolidation and next-stage planning phase.
Council is currently progressing concept planning and community engagement for remaining priority areas, including parts of Kingfisher Creek, Woolloongabba and upstream Greenslopes precincts. These works focus on improving connectivity, expanding habitat corridors and ensuring future developments respond better to flooding and heat.
Importantly, the master plan was never intended to be static. It allows projects to be delivered as funding, partnerships and redevelopment opportunities arise — meaning progress can be steady rather than rushed.
What to expect next
Over the coming years, residents can expect:
Further design work and consultation on remaining creek precincts
Incremental construction tied to funding and redevelopment timelines
Continued community involvement, particularly through local catchment and “Friends of” groups
Ongoing monitoring of water quality, biodiversity and flood performance
For communities like Greenslopes, this means change will continue — but in manageable stages, with visible benefits along the way.
Why it matters locally
The transformation of Norman Creek has already changed how people move through, use and value their local environment. Safer paths, cooler green spaces, improved flood resilience and richer biodiversity all contribute to a healthier, more liveable suburb.
As the master plan moves toward its final years, projects like Hanlon Park / Bur’uda stand as proof that long-term planning, backed by community support, can reshape even the most engineered urban landscapes.
A 17-year-old Greenslopes boy has been arrested in Brisbane’s CBD after Queensland Police’s Mounted Unit moved from a festive Christmas patrol into an operational response during the Commissioner’s Christmas carols.
Police said the incident unfolded about 1.30 p.m. on 2 December, when officers were called to a fast-food restaurant on Queen Street, Brisbane City, following reports of an alleged assault and disturbance. The teenager allegedly fled the scene on foot before general duties officers arrived.
At the time, officers from the Queensland Police Service Mounted Unit were patrolling nearby as part of the Commissioner’s Christmas concert, with police horses dressed in Christmas-themed gear and engaging with the public.
When the call for assistance was received, the Mounted Unit transitioned from ceremonial duties to an operational role, moving through the CBD streets and tracking the teenager.
Police said the boy was located and arrested at the intersection of Albert and Turbot streets without further incident.
The Greenslopes teenager has been charged with one count of assault occasioning bodily harm and appeared before Brisbane Children’s Court.
Police said the incident highlighted the Mounted Unit’s operational capability, noting their elevated vantage point and mobility in crowded urban environments, even during community and ceremonial events.
Did you know that Greenslopes was at the heart of the state’s fierce abortion debate in 1985 and the events of that year shaped the Termination of Pregnancy Bill?
The political landscape in Queensland was vastly different in the 1980s. Then Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen had ordered police raids on abortion clinics throughout the state, as the termination of pregnancy was illegal under Queensland law. Those laws remained unchanged for over a century.
The Women’s Centre at Red Hill in Brisbane was offering all-options counselling and referring women to abortion clinics in Sydney when the abortion debate first gained prominence. The violent attacks that followed – bricks thrown through windows – brought significant attention to their work and gave Queensland women a sense of choice.
During this time, Greenslopes was home to one of Queensland’s abortion facilities, the Greenslopes Fertility Control Clinic, which began providing services in the late 1970s. However, under Mr Bjelke-Petersen’s leadership, the government was determined to put an end to what they saw as “abortion on demand.”
In 1980, former Liberal MP Rosemary Kyburz played a pivotal role by leaking details of proposed laws that aimed to ban abortion in all circumstances except when a woman’s life was at imminent risk. She vehemently opposed these laws, describing them as “the most frightening piece of fascist legislation I have ever seen in my life.” Despite personal attacks and threats, including the shooting of her dog, Ms Kyburz stood her ground.
Clinics Raided
In the midst of this heated debate, Queensland police launched Operation Lost Cause in May 1985. More than 50 officers conducted simultaneous raids on known abortion clinics in Brisbane, Townsville, and the Greenslopes Fertility Control Clinic. A total of 47,000 patient files were seized during these raids.
Dr. Peter Bayliss, who operated the Greenslopes facility, faced arrest and charges under the criminal code. Eventually, he was found not guilty, and the judge, Fred Maguire, ruled that abortion was effectively legal if performed to prevent a serious threat to a woman’s health.
The fallout from these events resulted in a highly divisive public debate, leaving Queenslanders divided on the issue of abortion.
In 2018, Greenslopes and all of Queensland revisited their history as the state’s Parliament debated the decriminalization of abortion and its removal from the criminal code. The long-standing debate has polarized opinions and ignited passionate arguments on both sides.
In a significant victory for women’s rights, Queensland’s Parliament voted to legalise abortion and remove a 119-year-old “morality” section from the state’s criminal code. After decades of passionate debate, the historic moment was marked by cheers in the legislative assembly chamber, ending a 50-year struggle by women’s groups in a state historically known for its conservatism.
Abortion had been classed as an “offence against morality” under the outdated criminal code, a law written before women had gained the right to vote. Both major political parties, Labor and the Liberal National party, allowed their members a conscience vote, and ultimately, the laws passed with a 50-41 vote.
The legislation legalised abortion up to 22 weeks gestation and beyond with the approval of two doctors, while also establishing safe access zones around clinics to protect women from harassment.
