Cancer nursing is evolving. Care is becoming more complex, new treatments and models of care are changing practice, and the expertise and voice of cancer nurses have never mattered more.

The CNSA Annual Congress is where cancer nurses from across the country come together. Nurses from every setting, specialty and career stage gather to share what’s working, learn from new research and practice, tackle common challenges and build the connections that strengthen our profession.

People. Practice. Progress. Policy.

Our 2027 theme reflects the forces shaping cancer nursing today, and the opportunity we have to shape what comes next.

  • People are at the heart of cancer care: the nurses delivering it, the people and families they support, and the teams they work alongside.
  • Practice reflects the clinical expertise, evidence and education that underpin high-quality care.
  • Progress comes through research, innovation and new ways of working.
  • Policy has particular significance in Canberra, where we’ll focus on making sure cancer nurses have a strong voice in the decisions that shape cancer care and the workforce.
What to expect

Across three days, Congress brings together keynote and plenary sessions, Pre-Congress symposia, concurrent sessions, poster presentations and networking events. You’ll hear from leaders in cancer care, learn from colleagues doing great work around the country, and have plenty of time to connect.

You’ll leave Canberra with practical ideas to take back to your workplace, fresh perspectives, new connections and a stronger sense of the role you can play in advancing cancer nursing.

We look forward to welcoming you to Canberra in June 2027.
