What we’re doing next:
We want to make sure that we prioritise our work and resources in the right way over the next 12 months to implement changes to our resources. In the next 6 months, we’ll be: • Consulting with our consumer network, staff, and stakeholders to develop an implementation plan to prioritise recommended actions. • Presenting the outcomes of this national research at upcoming conferences such as the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia’s Annual Congress. • Reviewing organisational plans and resourcing to improve how we implement and monitor our information and support services, and to ensure that new and improved resources are sustainable. In 6-12 months, we’ll be: • Exploring new partnerships to implement some of the proposed actions by building connection across the cancer and research sectors. • Engaging with peak bodies that represent healthcare professionals and diverse community groups to seek advice about how to make sure our resources are accurate, appropriate, inclusive, and safe. In the next two years, we’ll be: • Reporting back to you about how we’re progressing through our website and other member communications. • Planning a future national survey to seek your feedback on changes to our resources and services in response to this survey - and to assess the future needs of families/carers (proposed for 2026-27).
