Help shape our Congress Program: EOIs close 30 October

EOIs for the Pre-Congress Symposiums (full-day and half-day) and Concurrent Sessions for the 29th CNSA Annual Congress are now open.

The theme for Congress 2027 is People | Practice | Progress | Policy.

The theme reflects the breadth and influence of cancer nursing today — the people at the heart of care, the practice that drives quality and safety, the progress being made through innovation, research and education, and the policy needed to strengthen the cancer nursing workforce and improve outcomes for people affected by cancer.

If you're interested in submitting a pre-congress symposium or concurrent session, then we suggest you the map the content back to this theme and reflect the breadth and strength of Australian cancer nursing.

Pre-Congress Symposiums

  • Full Day or Half Day
  • Deliver practical, skills-based education in focused areas.
  • Create opportunities for nurses to build capacity, confidence, and expertise.

Concurrent Sessions

  • 90-minute sessions across the Congress program
  • Highlight the ways cancer nurses are driving change and improving patient outcomes.

Why Submit an EOI?

  • Elevate your voice by sharing your expertise with colleagues nationwide.
  • Shape the national conversation on cancer nursing.
  • Contribute directly to our theme by aligning your session to one (or more) of the four pillars: People, Practice, Progress, Policy.

We encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues and networks to ensure a diverse, dynamic program that reflects the strength of our profession. Let’s bring the very best of cancer nursing to Canberra and represent the profession together.
