WA Cancer Plan - Research Consultation

The WA Department of Health is undertaking consultation to inform the key priorities and actions for the cancer research priorities of the WA Cancer Plan 2020 - 2025.

On Monday 13 May, widespread consultation was undertaken at the Research and Innovation Forum hosted collaboratively by the WA Cancer and Palliative Care Network and the Research Development Unit. The Forum was well attended and provided an opportunity for a range of people from the cancer research sector to provide their input on the research component of the Plan.

All interested stakeholders (individuals and organisations) are encouraged to provide input by completing the WA Cancer Plan - Research Online Consultation.  A choice to complete a survey or provide a written submission is available. 

The closing date for the cancer research online consultation is Friday 7 June, 2019.

If you do not wish to have your written submission published, please send a submission directly to the WA Cancer and Palliative Care Network.

Updates throughout the development process of the WA Cancer Plan 2020-2025 can be found at the Department of Health website.
