National Framework for Genomics in Cancer Consultation 2024

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 Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has released the initial draft of the 3rd Edition of the NSQHS for consultation

Australia’s cancer nursing workforce now has a contemporary national capability framework. In this episode hosted by CNSA CEO Jemma Still, Dr Carla Thamm, Professor Gemma McErlean, Nikki Dean and Dr Pammie Ellem reflect on why the Australian Cancer Nursing Capability Framework, or AusCaN Framework, was needed, how it was developed and what it could mean for cancer nurses, educators and health services.
