Cancer Care Navigation in Australia

Caring for someone with advanced or terminal cancer can be overwhelming for families. CarerHelp is offering a series of free, nurse-led online sessions to support carers as illness progresses, through end of life, and into bereavement. These sessions are a valuable resource cancer nurses can confidently recommend to patients and families to reinforce education, preparation, and emotional support beyond the clinical setting.

CNSA members are encouraged to take part in a national evaluation of the Australian Cancer Nursing and Navigation Program (ACNNP) and the Cancer Patient Support Program (CPSP). These Programs are designed to improve access to information, navigation and wrap-around support for people impacted by cancer, and to integrate seamlessly with existing health services.

CNSA is proud to announce the launch of a new Gastro-intestinal Cancers Community of Practice (CoP), developed in partnership with Bowel Cancer Australia, Pancare Foundation, and the Gastro-intestinal Cancer Nurses Network (GICaNN).
