Overview
The Data Framework aims to ensure Australia has a mature cancer data ecosystem that supports reporting and benchmarking of key cancer control performance indicators, embeds Indigenous Data Sovereignty, underpins data-driven improvements to patient care and supports world-class research.
The Data Framework achieves a 2-year action under the Australian Cancer Plan’s Strong and Dynamic Foundations Strategic Objective to improve accessibility, consistency and comprehensiveness of integrated data assets.
Developed by Cancer Australia in partnership with Cancer Council Australia and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the Data Framework has been informed by extensive sector consultation and reflects broad national agreement on priorities for action.
Cancer Australia is sharing the National Cancer Data Framework Implementation Tracker, informed by feedback from the sector on activities already underway. The Tracker is intended to support coordinated, whole-of-sector delivery of the Data Framework by tracking progress, supporting collaboration and identifying priority next steps.
Implementation of the Data Framework is a shared responsibility across jurisdictions and the broader health and cancer sector. Cancer Australia will play a national coordination role, working in close collaboration with stakeholders.
Implementation tracker
Explore implementation activities underway across Australia. Search or filter the tracker, then expand an initiative to read its progress and alignment with the National Cancer Data Framework.
All implementation activities, progress updates and alignment information presented in this tracker are self-reported by participating organisations. Cancer Australia does not warrant the accuracy, completeness or currency of this information. Users should confirm details directly with the relevant organisation before relying on them.
How sector input informs the tracker
The implementation tracker reflects feedback from the sector on national, jurisdictional and local activities that support the Data Framework’s objectives. It will continue to be updated over time to capture further feedback and track progress against relevant actions.
This will help ensure the tracker reflects coordinated activity across Australia, supports collaboration, and identifies practical next steps for delivery.
