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.
