Contribution of Cancer Nurses Position Statement

Australia’s first National Gynaecological Cancer Roundtable has brought together more than 40 leaders from government, research, healthcare and the lived-experience community to identify shared priorities for improving outcomes for people affected by gynaecological cancers.

The McGrath Foundation is offering 15 individual scholarships to cancer nurses to undertake the Graduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Nursing - Cancer Nursing, offered at Monash University.  

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has recently published the latest national workforce data from the annual registration process, together with data from a workforce survey that is voluntarily completed at the time of registration, providing an updated picture of the size and growth of Australia’s cancer nursing workforce. We've pulled it all into a snapshot to make it easy for you to digest.

Following the Australian Government’s announcement of changes to the funding of prostate cancer nursing positions, CNSA President Professor Gemma McErlean reflects on what must remain at the centre of the transition: protecting specialist expertise, continuity of care and recognising the contribution of every cancer nurse.
