Inherited Cancers Australia (ICA) delivers nationally recognised support, education, and advocacy for individuals and families impacted by hereditary cancer. Drawing on this expertise, the ICA team will facilitate an engaging half-day workshop designed to elevate the confidence and capability of cancer nurses in recognising, supporting, and advocating for patients with inherited cancer risk. As the demand for genetic testing grows across oncology and primary care, cancer nurses are ideally placed to identify at-risk patients and families, provide evidence-based informed education, and coordinate multidisciplinary care. This workshop will combine up-to-date, evidence-based information with real-world case discussions drawn from ICA’s clinical and community experience.
