Goal

To address the navigation needs of people with all types of cancer and enable evidence-informed patient navigation programs to improve patient outcomes and experiences.

Aims

Patient navigation in cancer care is an individualised intervention that aims to address barriers and facilitate timely access to healthcare services, diagnosis, and treatments and care. Patient navigation in cancer care includes support for individuals, families, and caregivers to:

(i) navigate the health system; and
(ii) address holistic, emotional, educational/informational, and carer needs.
