Our navigator, Grace Gawler, is a cancer expert who will guide you safely through the complex cancer maze.

Grace draws on 45 years of cancer service to help you to access the best minimally invasive treatments suitable for your cancer type.

Point of Difference: Normally the term cancer navigator applies to a nurse or other trained advocate within a hospital who helps patients manage their cancer journey. The Grace Gawler Institute navigator is independent and can thus refer patients to any of the world’s best cancer doctors.

To better understand how our navigation service works; imagine you are the captain of a survivor ship sailing in uncharted waters – it is the most important voyage of your life. You want it to be successful. As a first-time captain you enlist an experienced navigator, who, in 45 years of cancer service, has successfully navigated thousands of novice captains like you through the stormy cancer seas.

Our navigator sees your cancer options through a global treatment lens. This enables access to a wider range of minimally invasive treatment options. Grace liaises regularly between home country & overseas doctors to present a complete picture of you and your illness.

The navigator applies her meticulous approach to each patient’s case resulting in the minimisation of mistakes & optimal patient outcomes.

For example; in 40-60% of new cases, her team detects previous mistakes that will have hindered your recovery efforts. She will help access a more accurate diagnosis.

The navigator fills numerous roles helping to bridge the gaps between the patient as a whole person and the patient as seen in the medical system.
