CanForum

Creating a better world for rare.

CanForum is our annual advocacy conference, designed to challenge thinking, educate and inspire attendees, and advocate for change to improve care and outcomes for everyone affected by cancer.  

It brings together leading experts in research, healthcare, biotech, policy and lived experience to talk about the latest developments, trends and issues in cancer care, with a focus on rare. At CanForum we discuss the big opportunities and challenges in providing the best care to people diagnosed with cancer, including hearing first-hand from patients about their experiences.

Recap of CanForum25: Now it’s personal: Access and equity for all

In our biggest CanForum event yet, we put the lived experience firmly in the spotlight in the Great Hall at Australian Parliament House. We presented recommendations to drive equity for everyone in Australia diagnosed with cancer, so they can access the treatments they need and deserve in a faster, fairer way. These recommendations were supported by early findings from our Cancer Lived Experience Survey, alongside powerful patient and carer perspectives. Read more personal stories, and the data that supports them, in our new report: Now it’s personal: Access and equity for all, which was launched alongside our rare community in Parliament house the night before CanForum.
