CanForum is our annual advocacy conference, designed to challenge thinking, educate and inspire attendees, and advocate for change to improve care and outcomes for everyone affected by cancer.
It brings together leading experts in research, healthcare, biotech, policy and lived experience to talk about the latest developments, trends and issues in cancer care, with a focus on rare. At CanForum we discuss the big opportunities and challenges in providing the best care to people diagnosed with cancer, including hearing first-hand from patients about their experiences.
Recap of CanForum 2024: A Rare Cancer Moonshot
A ‘Rare Cancer Moonshot’ calls on all of us – government, health care providers, industry, researchers, and the community – to work together to achieve equity for everyone with cancer. We proposed an ambitious target for Australia to achieve greater than 90% five-year survival for everyone diagnosed with cancer, and for true equity of experience by 2035.
The immediate actions needed to bring us closer to achieving this bold vision are outlined in our latest report, Rare Cancer Moonshot: Equity for everyone with cancer, which was launched at CanForum by the Minister for Health and Aged Care the Hon. Mark Butler MP.
We believe no one should be left behind. Together, we can turn the tide against rare cancers and build a healthcare system that is fair, compassionate, and equitable for all.
