Welcome 

Welcome to the National Regional Cancer Hub!  

The National Regional Cancer Hub is a one-stop education and resource space dedicated to supporting regional and rural health professionals who are passionate about cancer care across Australia. Designed to empower, connect, and upskill those delivering cancer care, this innovative hub provides on-demand learning, live and recorded forums with expert-led discussions, and a dynamic community of practice - all tailored to the unique challenges of regional healthcare in Australia. Driven by a National Steering Group and regional co-leads, the hub ensures content is relevant, responsive, and reflective of regional needs, identified through ongoing surveys, interviews, and consultations. This hub is part of the Empowering Regional Cancer Care Project, which has been made possible by the Cancer Patient Support Program, an Australian Government initiative.
