Australian Cancer Plan engagement hub
Cancer Australia has launched the new Australian Cancer Plan engagement hub – an easy-to-use interactive website to stay up to date with the development of the first Australian Cancer Plan.
Visit the Australian Cancer Plan engagement hub or you can register to receive updates.
Study into CALD patient safety and engagement in cancer settings
Are you from a culturally and linguistically diverse background and have had cancer treatment at Western Health or Austin Health?
Researchers from Macquarie University are seeking participants to take part in a 30-45 minute interview (face-to-face, online or via telephone).
This research aims to improve the engagement and safety of patients and families from different backgrounds accessing cancer services in New South Wales and Victoria.

This event will be broadcast live from Federation Square as part of the Breast Cancer Trials 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting.

Survey: National Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategy
The Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer have produced a Consultation Paper that summarises Australia’s progress towards cervical cancer elimination and asks for Australians’ ideas about how we can succeed in reaching global targets across the three elimination pillars:
- HPV vaccination
- Cervical screening and treatment of precancers
- Cervical cancer treatment.
They are inviting you help shape a National Cervical Elimination Strategy by completing an online survey. The survey is open until 29 July 2022 and takes about 5 minutes to complete. If you have lived experience with cervical cancer and are willing to complete an extended survey, it will take an additional 10 minutes.
Access the survey, including the Easy Read accessible version.
