Launch of Australian Cancer Plan

Department of Health

The Australian Cancer Plan aims to improve prevention, screening, treatment and management of all cancers for all people across Australia. A key priority of the plan is improving outcomes for groups with the poorest cancer experiences, with a particular focus on First Nations people. It covers all cancer types across the whole cancer journey – from prevention and early detection to recovery, treatment, survivorship and end of life care.

The plan was developed by Cancer Australia in consultation the states and territory governments, First Nations communities, clinicians, researchers, people affected by cancer and support organisations.
