Cancer framework and strategic plan

The Tasmanian Cancer Framework and Strategic Plan (CFSP) incorporates the structure and key design elements of Tasmania’s cancer care system.
It also articulates the vision, strategies and actions that can achieve the best possible outcomes for Tasmanians affected by cancer.
While many things have changed since its development, the CFSP provides a valuable basis for progressing a range of initiatives across the Tasmanian cancer system.
The Tasmanian Cancer Clinical Network is already progressing many recommendations and developing consumer and health professional resources.
As some time has elapsed since data was obtained, the workforce and cancer service data (and cancer incidence and mortality rates it describes) requires updating.
This is being undertaken through consultation with each Area Health Service. It will not be used to change the content of the CFSP, but to provide up-to-date data to inform the next steps.
The Policy, Information and Commissioning Group and Office of the Chief Health Officer in consultation with the Tasmanian Cancer Clinical Network are collaborating on a process to produce a feasible approach to implement the Cancer Framework.
This will form a long-term and complex agenda that will take some time to fully realise.
