Cancer

The Queensland Cancer Clinical Network was first established in March 2013 and serves to provide expertise, direction and advice to the Minister of Health, the Director-General of Queensland Health, Hospital and Health Services (HHSs), and clinicians on matters relating to the delivery of quality cancer services across the continuum of care in Queensland.

Queensland Health has had a clinical cancer leadership advisory group in some form since 2006, with the Queensland Cancer Clinical Network now covering all of Queensland, including Hospital and Health Services.

The Queensland Cancer Clinical Network is co-chaired by:

  • A/Prof Melissa Eastgate, Metro North Hospital and Health Service
  • Lisa Roberts, Metro South Hospital and Health Service.

Network Vision

Our vision is for a broad, representative network that has input to and influence on key decision makers and health services across Queensland.

Current priorities

  • Contribute to the planning and establishment of the Queensland Cancer Centre
  • Undertake the Cancer Services Referral Mapping Project across all HHSs
  • Collaborate with Cancer Alliance Qld to support data collection and analysis in developing a statewide optimal care pathways dashboard
  • Advising on the implementation of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program
