Contribution of Cancer Nurses Position Statement

CNSA, in collaboration with the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) is developing a Position Statement on the Role of Nurses in Cancer Survivorship Care. We are now seeking feedback from members on the draft statement. Your voice is essential to ensure this reflects real-world practice and the needs of our profession and the people we care for.

CNSA’s partner Slater and Gordon will be providing a series of information pieces and case studies designed to support members in recognising when their patients may benefit from legal advice and advocacy. We know that nurses are always looking for ways to support their patients and their families — being informed about their ability to make a claim could make a huge difference.

Public consultation is open to contribute to the optimal care pathway for people living in rural and remote areas with cancer

Developed by researchers at Monash University and McGrath Foundation (supported by CNSA), this project aims to develop a self-assessment tool specifically designed for specialist cancer nurses who provide care to people with cancer and conduct pilot psychometric testing to examine internal consistency and known-group validity.

This report explores why outcomes and experiences remain worse for people with rare and less common cancers – and what we can do to change that.
