Why your views matter

Cancer Australia is undertaking an open public consultation on a new Optimal Care Pathway (OCP) template.

Optimal Care Pathways (OCPs) are embedded within the Australian Cancer Plan and describe a national standard of high-quality, evidence-based cancer care.

Cancer Australia is reviewing and updating the common templates for the full OCP and Quick Reference Guide to reflect current best practice and ensure greater consistency across all OCPs.

Your feedback is essential in helping ensure the OCP templates are practical, relevant and fit for purpose to support consistent, safe and high-quality cancer care across Australia.

You are invited to have your say and share feedback via this survey.

Before completing the survey, please review the draft OCP templates linked on this page.
