🗣️🩺Cancer Australia invites your participation in the Optimal Care Pathway (OCP) templates

Optimal Care Pathway (OCP) templates have been embedded within the Australian Cancer Plan demonstrating their importance in describing a national standard of high-quality cancer care. OCPs outline consistent, safe, high-quality, and evidence-based care for people with cancer with a specific cancer type or as part of a priority population group.

Cancer Australia is reviewing and updating the common templates of the full OCP and the Quick Reference Guide to reflect current best practice and ensure consistency across all OCPs. The Guides to Best Practice Guide Cancer Care for consumers will be updated in the future.

Your feedback as a consumer, in conjunction with healthcare professionals will help ensure the OCP templates are practical, relevant and fit for purpose to support consistent, high‑quality cancer care across Australia.

You're invited to have your say via the Cancer Australia Consultation Hub by 7 August 2026
