Cancer outcomes in Australia are among the best in the world, but these outcomes are not experienced equally by all Australians. Many people with cancer in Australia encounter significant barriers, confusion and distress when moving through the health system to receive treatment and support. Especially those in rural and remote areas. All.Can Australia is a not-for-profit organisation committed to solve this problem and improve cancer care by focusing on what matters to patients.
To acknowledge World Cancer Day this year, All.Can Australia is bringing together leading experts to tackle the issue of cancer care navigation and explore how we can overcome pain points not only for people living with cancer, but holistically for the wider health system.
The live webinar took place on Thursday 2 February 2023 from 12:00pm – 1:30pm AEDT.
