To strengthen collective capability across the cancer sector workforce in Victoria to assess and address inequities in cancer care, by deepening awareness, understanding and building momentum for action.
 

Victoria had some of the best cancer outcomes in the world and was recognised as having a leading cancer system. However, the benefits of our world‑class system were not experienced equally by all Victorians, and that gap was widening.

Where people lived, their income, their cultural background, and how the system saw them all impacted the care they received and their chances of survival. This event spotlighted the importance of equity in cancer outcomes, why it mattered, what it looked like in practice, and how we could work together to address it. Participants joined us for a special keynote address and presentations from projects that were taking real steps to assess or address inequities in cancer services and outcomes. Together, we explored how we could shift from awareness to action.

This event brought together leaders, educators, researchers, health workers, and the community to prioritise health equity in cancer care.
