We’re thrilled to announce that applications are now OPEN for the 2025 MooGoo Postgraduate Cancer Nursing Scholarship!

In this first episode of Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care, we discuss the cancer nursing workforce now, and in the future. We talk about the needs and requirements of the profession and what CNSA is doing to lead this initiative.

This month on Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care, we chat with CNSA President Anne Mellon and CEO Jemma Still about what's happening at CNSA, and more broadly about issues impacting the nursing workforce in the cancer care and control landscape in Australia

We are excited to share a special episode of Nursing Excellence in Cancer Care, in honour of the inaugural Cancer Nurses Day.

Thinking about launching a nurse-led survivorship clinic? ACSC's NEW guideline provides a practical framework to build a sustainable clinic.

CNSA is delighted to launch this new webinar series to support the cancer nursing workforce to build knowledge, connections and confidence.

I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you - CNSA has recently been awarded nearly $1 million in grant funding from the Australian Government. This is part of the $16.5 million committed to the Cancer Patient Support Program, a component of the Australian Cancer Nursing and Navigation Program. The aim is to provide better outcomes for people affected by cancer and increase equity across tumour types. 

The Nursing and Midwifery Board has released their March newsletter, including updates on nurse prescribing and renewals in 2025.

Developed in partnership with Flinders University’s Caring Futures Institute (CFI), the Cancer Statewide Clinical Network and the Commission on Excellence and Innovation in Health (CEIH), this comprehensive Framework aims to ensure timely and equitable access to cancer care services for all South Australians, by improving their navigation of the healthcare system.

In 2020, CNSA advocated to incorporate cancer care as a job area that health professionals could nominate in their AHPRA registration. We have used this data to create a snapshot of the Nursing Workforce in Australia, which provides a clear overview of key trends in the nursing workforce, helping to identify shifts in workforce demographics, practice settings, and cancer nursing distribution according to cancer cases. We encourage you to explore the insights and use this data to inform discussions about workforce planning in cancer care.
