Resources
Cancer Australia recognises the importance of continually improving the services and support available to people living with cancer, and their families and carers.
Cancer Australia has published the following documents to complement existing resources:
- Consumer participation guide (PDF 1.3MB)
- Consumer training and mentoring guide (PDF 643KB)
- Cancer support groups: A guide to setting up peer facilitated supports (PDF 718KB)
- Cancer support groups: A guide for peer facilitators (PDF 650KB)
The Consumer participation guide and the Consumer training and mentoring guide have been developed to support consumers to contribute meaningfully to national cancer policy and program development, whilst recognising and building upon the existing skills and experiences of consumers.
Cancer support groups: A guide to setting up peer facilitated supports and Cancer support groups: A guide for peer facilitators have been designed to help organisations establish and maintain quality support options for people living with cancer.
Acknowledgement
These resources supplement or enhance existing resources and were developed with input and advice from consumers and health professionals across Australia. Cancer Australia contracted the Health Issues Centre in Victoria to produce these resources after a report from the Project Steering Committee, which included nominees from our National Consumer Advisory Group, Cancer Voices Australia, Cancer Council Australia and state and territory Cancer Council representatives.
