Working towards Victoria's cancer reforms

Working towards Victoria's cancer reform



The PICS is part of the Victorian Government’s broader cancer reform strategy described in A Cancer Services Framework for Victoria and is committed to achieving relevant targets of the Victoria’s Cancer Action Plan 2008-2011 (VCAP) and the Supportive care policy for Victoria.

Victoria’s Cancer Action Plan


Released in December 2008, VCAP outlines a vision for cancer reform that offers standardised and high quality cancer care to all Victorians, regardless of whether they live in metropolitan, regional or rural Victoria. VCAP is a comprehensive action plan with measurable targets across four key action areas; prevention, research, treatment and support.

Supportive care policy for Victoria


The supportive care policy aims to promote a population-based, person-centred, strategic approach to the provision and enhancement of supportive care for all Victorians affected by cancer. The policy identifies four core strategic directions for supportive care in Australia.

Integrated Cancer Services priority areas


In addition to VCAP and the Supportive care policy for Victoria, the PICS is committed to achieving best practice outcomes for the four Victorian Government priority areas for service improvement at the Integrated Cancer Service (ICS) and statewide level.
