New Grant Opportunity to strengthen connections between cancer services

The Australian Comprehensive Cancer Network (ACCN) Networking for Cancer Equity Grant Program will strengthen connections between cancer services and improve access to quality care for people living in outer-metropolitan, regional, rural and remote communities, including priority populations such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This initiative will bring comprehensive cancer care closer to home for Australians living outside major cities. By connecting smaller services with larger services, multidisciplinary teams can collaborate, share expertise, and deliver optimal care to people closer to home. These networks will improve coordination across the system and support sustainable models of care.

Each project will involve partnerships between smaller cancer services and larger cancer services, building capacity and sharing expertise across the system.

Successful grant recipients are expected to run their activities from April 2026 to June 2027.

The ACCN enables knowledge sharing, collaboration, and system-wide innovation to deliver more equitable access to high quality cancer care and improve outcomes for all Australians.
