Cancer Australia values the integral role of consumers in patient-centered care and cancer control. The tools and resources listed below aim to develop expertise in cancer control, and assist organisations to actively engage consumers around a shared focus and vision.
Increasingly, people affected by cancer and the broader community are seeking to be active participants in decision making about their health.
Evidence suggest that involving consumers leads to improved health outcomes, a more trusted healthcare system and a more satisfied workforce.
Based on the principles of the National Framework for Consumer Involvement in Cancer Control, Cancer Australia has developed web-based practical tools to assist CEOs and Executives, Service Managers, Health Professionals, Researchers, Policy Makers and Consumers to actively engage with consumers around a shared focus and vision. Implementing the Framework and subsequent benefits that come from consumer involvement is only a click away... These tools take you there!
