On 5th March 2025 our Telehealth Nurse Manager, Emma Zurawel, alongside Consumer Advisory Group member Sally Lobley and Audrey Colbert (Support Group Facilitator and Peer Support Volunteer) attended the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) From Patient to Partner Workshop in Melbourne. The event took place ahead of the National Cancer Survivorship Conference 2025 hosted by COSA.
It was an insightful day of learning, knowledge-sharing, and networking. Participants walked away with a deeper understanding of the importance of involving consumers as partners in shaping initiatives, driving decision-making, and advancing research.
The consumer voice is a critical element in ensuring cancer care is truly patient-centred, and at Melanoma Patients Australia, we are dedicated to amplifying that voice in every step of the process.
Melanoma Patients Australia recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Australia, and we acknowledge, respect and embrace their continued connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging.
We recognise, value and celebrate diversity and act in the spirit of inclusion.
