About this Report.

The ABTC hosted a roundtable that was convened on Tuesday, 29 October 2024. The event was facilitated by Evohealth and involved key stakeholders from clinical research, patient advocacy and allied health backgrounds.

The aim of the roundtable was to discuss gaps in cancer care navigation faced by brain cancer patients, their families and carers in Australia.

This report is informed by the insights shared by stakeholders at the roundtable, and enhanced with the results of a survey of brain cancer care coordinators across Australia, and selected submissions received from people with brain cancer, and their loved ones.

We would like to acknowledge the individuals
who contributed to this project, particularly the attendees of the roundtable and the tireless work they do for the brain cancer community.
