The Ashbourne Project
Turning lived experience with cancer into clarity, connection, and better care
The Ashbourne Project (TAP) is a purpose-led media and advocacy platform sharing real conversations about cancer — grounded in lived experience, expert insight, and a commitment to improving care in Australia.
We exist to help people feel less alone, more informed, and better supported — whether they are living with cancer, caring for someone who is, or working to improve the system around it.
What TAP Is
What this is
TAP brings together:
People living with cancer
Families and carers
Clinicians, researchers, and advocates
Organisations working to improve cancer care
Through filmed conversations, interviews, and written reflections, TAP creates space for honest discussion — without hype, false certainty, or toxic positivity.
This is not advice.
It’s shared understanding.
Why TAP Exists
Why this work matters
Cancer is not just a medical experience — it’s an emotional, relational, and systemic one.
Too often, people are left navigating:
Confusing information
Fragmented care
Silence around fear, uncertainty, and impact
Systems that feel overwhelming or impersonal
TAP exists to bridge that gap — offering clarity, humanity, and perspective, while advocating for better, more equitable care.
Who TAP Is For
Who this is for
The Ashbourne Project is for:
People living with cancer
Families, partners, and carers
Clinicians and researchers seeking patient-centred insight
Organisations and advocates working in cancer care
Anyone wanting to understand cancer beyond statistics and soundbites
You don’t need to know what to say here.
You just need to be willing to listen.
