Transforming Cancer Care: Release of the completed Cancer Navigation Framework 

Devel­oped through exten­sive stake­hold­er engage­ment, the Can­cer Nav­i­ga­tion Frame­work empha­sis­es col­lab­o­ra­tion among var­i­ous enti­ties involved in can­cer care. It serves as a vital tool for improv­ing patient out­comes by stream­lin­ing nav­i­ga­tion through our health­care system. 

We urge all stake­hold­ers — pol­i­cy­mak­ers, health­care providers, com­mu­ni­ty organ­i­sa­tions — to read this com­pre­hen­sive frame­work and join us in its imple­men­ta­tion efforts. Togeth­er, we can make a mean­ing­ful impact on those affect­ed by can­cer in our community! 

To get started: 

1. Read the Frame­work: Read the Can­cer Nav­i­ga­tion Frame­work to under­stand key strate­gies and rec­om­men­da­tions for improv­ing can­cer care access and coordination. 
2. Share the Frame­work: Dis­trib­ute it among col­leagues and your net­works to encour­age wide­spread adoption. 
3. Use as guid­ance: Utilise this resource to inform your prac­tices and poli­cies, align­ing our shared goals. 
4. Con­nect with us: Reach out to the Can­cer Statewide Clin­i­cal Net­work (Can­cer SCN), or Flinders Uni­ver­si­ty Car­ing Futures Insti­tute (CFI) to dis­cuss the frame­work and explore ways we can work together. 

By tak­ing these steps, we can work togeth­er to enhance can­cer nav­i­ga­tion and improve out­comes for all South Aus­tralians affect­ed by cancer.
