We are committed to improving cancer care in a way that respects and supports the unique journey, values, culture, and strengths of ATSI people and their families.

Our Cancer Team works collaboratively with our clinical and community support teams to provide holistic cancer prevention, screening, early diagnosis, treatment support, and ongoing care. We aim to ensure people feel informed, supported, and not alone at any stage of their cancer journey.

Cancer continues to have a significant impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, with higher rates of diagnosis and avoidable mortality for some cancers. At Yoorana Gunya, we are focused on reducing these disparities through culturally safe care, early screening and diagnosis, strong care coordination, and community-led education and support.

Our approach is centred on listening, building trust, and walking alongside individuals and families, supporting physical, emotional, social, and cultural wellbeing.
