The Australian Brain Tumour Collaborative is engaging government on improving:

Clinical Care

Equitable access to best-practice multidisciplinary treatment regardless of geographical setting

Supports

Comprehensive care models that respond to the long-term, life altering impacts on patients and carers

Our Establishment

The Australian Brain Tumour Collaborative (ABTC) held its inaugural steering committee meeting on 9 December 2022. The Collaborative aims to develop and convey a united national voice that provides consolidated and evidence based advocacy to governments, stakeholders and the Australian brain cancer patient, family and carer community.

This advocacy seeks to clearly define key issues and national responses that achieve better support and outcomes for individuals, carers and families impacted by brain tumour in Australia.

Our Objectives

Identify and promote understanding of key gaps in services and support for people impacted by brain tumours.

z

Promote integration, partnerships and information sharing within the national brain tumour sector that better supports people impacted by brain tumours.

Promote patient-centred solutions to challenges associated with the survivorship journey for people living with brain tumours, drawing on evidence-based research and lived experience.

Individually and collectively advocate for better access to service coordination and ongoing supports for people with brain tumours, their families, and carers.

Continued funding for research and clinical trials to enable and accelerate better prevention, treatments, and care.
