Access and Funding.
CNSA welcomes the launch of the National Nursing Workforce Strategy - a vision to grow, support and retain Australia's nursing workforce and a framework for collective action to tackle workforce challenges and create opportunities for nurses to continue delivering high-quality care.
On Thursday 13 August, cancer nurses and their teams came together across Australia to celebrate, connect and recognise the incredible contribution of our profession. From morning teas and team lunches to decorations, photo walls, awards and moments of recognition, we loved seeing Cancer Nurses Day come to life in so many different ways - and in workplaces and communities right across the country.
On Cancer Nurses Day, the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia is calling for greater recognition of cancer nurses as strong, skilled and specialised professionals who are central to the delivery of high-quality cancer care.
The Cancer Nurses Society of Australia conducted the second cancer nursing workforce survey in 2025. It was completed by almost 1,000 cancer nurses working across all settings in Australia, providing a snapshot of shifting workforce dynamics three years on from the first nationwide cancer nursing survey. We encourage members to download this snapshot, with more information set to be published over the next six months.
