Kylie Lindsay

I'm a CNSA member because it enhances my professional growth through networking, education, and advocacy. The resources and community support keep me updated on best practices, ultimately improving the research I do to help cancer patients. CNSA membership aligns with my commitment to excellence in cancer nursing.

Gemma McErlean

Being a member has increased my oncology nursing knowledge immensely. It has allowed me to meet with many other skilled cancer nurses who are willing to share their vast knowledge. Fabulous, supportive network.

Tracie Bertram

Clinical Nurse Consultant

CNSA is my tribe, cancer nurses both locally and across the country. There are oppourtunities to learn and learn from, and mentor incoming generations. Then there's the SPN groups, notably the GYN SPN which I chaircomprising of specialist gynae cancer nurses from across the country. Without CNSA and these networks I would not have been afforded many of the wonderful oppourtunities I have enjoyed during my career. CNSA also provides an integral nursing voice at many state and national forums and committes. Then there are the different events held throughout the year, from podcasts to webinars to my favourite, the annual Congress!
