The Empowering Regional Cancer Care Project
Education built for regional cancer care
A dedicated education and resource space for regional and rural health professionals delivering cancer care across Australia — built to empower, connect and upskill the people doing the work, wherever they are.
The hub brings together on-demand learning, a national forum series with expert-led discussion, a journal club podcast and an online discussion forum, providing the training and resources needed to support the regional cancer workforce in delivering quality cancer care. Driven by a National Steering Group and regional co-leads, its content stays relevant and responsive to regional needs, identified through ongoing surveys, interviews and consultations.
Three ways to take part
National Regional Cancer Forum Series
Real-world case studies, lived consumer experiences, culturally appropriate practice and expert Q&A.
RECAP Journal Club Podcast
Regional Evidence, Collaboration and Practice — an interactive deep dive into peer-reviewed research with authors and regional clinicians, aligning education with current international best practice.
Online Discussion Forum
A collaborative space to share experiences, ask questions and explore new ideas with peers. Join the Regional, Rural and Remote Collaborative Community on the Australian Comprehensive Cancer Network.
The Empowering Regional Cancer Care Project has been made possible by the Cancer Patient Support Program, an Australian Government initiative.
