Improve wellbeing and support for people affected by cancer

The Victorian Cancer Plan prioritises ‘holistic recovery and wellbeing of cancer consumers and those involved in their care – whether that be survivorship programs, mental health services or supportive care’.

Pillar 1 of the Victorian Cancer Plan 2024–2028 (p25 of the PDF) focuses on empowering ‘consumers’ (people affected by cancer, and their carers) to be active partners in their health and wellbeing.

The VICS are supporting health service providers across Victoria to improve wellbeing and support for patients and their carers, with initiatives to:

  • Implement and embed supportive care and survivorship models of care across services
  • Improve timely and equitable access to specialist palliative care.
