Welcome to EdCaN
The Australian National Cancer Nursing Education Project

People with cancer and their families have a right to expect that competent and educationally prepared nurses are available to meet their needs wherever they reside throughout Australia. 

Working with nurses and other partners the EdCaN project will develop a national framework for cancer nursing, curricula for undergraduate and specialist cancer nursing practice and enhance access to education with on-line resource materials provided through a consortium of university and hospital partners throughout Australia.

This website provides you with information about the project, its aims, objectives and expected outcomes. You will also be able to monitor the project’s progress through regular updates. We need people interested and/or involved in cancer nursing practice or education, whether professionally or as a student, consumer or family member, to become familiar with the project through these web pages and participate in the project over the next four years. 

Your comments and criticisms are important to us.  Visitors to this website are encouraged to Contact Us to provide any feedback on EdCaN, and this will help us offer information and services of value to cancer patients and nurses.

EdCaN is a national project auspiced by Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
and supported by funding from the Australian Government under the
Strengthening Cancer Care initiative.
