The VCCC Alliance is pleased to submit this document outlining five priority areas for Victoria’s cancer strategy: consumer partnership, equitable access across the care continuum, a strengthened and adaptable workforce, enhanced data and intelligence systems, and the integration of clinical trials as standard of care.
These priorities address both immediate needs, such as formalising lived-experience engagement and removing barriers to regional services, and longer-term goals, including building workforce capacity, improving the quality and linkage of data (with particular focus on Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and CALD populations)
