Consultation and engagement stakeholders
All engagements have been considered in the development and implementation of the Plan. Most notably, Cancer Australia hosted 12 Strategic Objective workshops with representatives from numerous cancer and non-cancer organisations, and consumers, to develop, test, and refine the ambitions, goals, and actions of the Plan.
Actions specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were co-designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people using an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led methodology that aligned with best practice principles and approaches to co-design to ensure that ambitions, goals, and actions were led and owned based on the cancer care needs, attitudes, and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Cancer Australia hosted 9 meetings with representatives of priority population groups, met with over 40 cancer consumer organisations, and included cancer consumers in all workshops, to ensure that the Plan will resonate with people experiencing the greatest inequity. Feedback was sought on whether implementing the Plan would achieve equity
This page lists discrete agencies consulted as part of the development of the Plan. Additional groups were engaged as collaborative entities with representation across numerous agencies. More than 300 individuals were also consulted.
