Cancer Australia is inviting you to participate in the consultation process for the draft National Framework for Genomics in Cancer Control.
The Framework aims to support people affected by cancer to benefit from cancer genetic testing and genomic treatments. It will also assist health professionals and health services to incorporate genomics within optimal care, in a way that is consistent, safe, high-quality, evidence-based, and culturally appropriate.
The Framework’s vision is for genomics to be integrated into clinical practice as the standard of care, ensuring cultural safety and accessibility across the cancer care continuum, improving equity in cancer care and outcomes for all Australians.
Why your views matter
Cancer Australia is undertaking a broad consultation process to ensure all relevant stakeholders have the opportunity for input.
We are keen to hear the views of people from all geographic locations, age groups, ethnic and cultural backgrounds and priority population groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We also invite health professionals, policy makers, cancer services, researchers, primary health networks, peak bodies, colleges, associations and societies, allied health professionals, consumers, carers and community to have their say.
Your feedback is important in refining and strengthening the draft National Framework for Genomics in Cancer Control. This consultation period offers the opportunity for stakeholders across the cancer sector to contribute their perspectives on the key elements outlined in the draft framework.
