Health equity in cancer care is a significant part of our work at the VCCC Alliance. It was great to see this recognised in the recent Victorian government budget, with funding secured for programs aiming to reduce gaps in outcomes for people affected by cancer based on situation, background or location.
We’re looking forward to our work contributing strongly to the strategic objectives of the Victorian Cancer Plan 2024 – 2028 - due to be tabled in parliament on 1 October - towards better outcomes for all Victorians affected by cancer, as well as playing a role in the Australian Cancer Plan to achieve greater equity and improved cancer care across the nation. |
