How the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Institute’s Ways of Working can strengthen culturally safe care practice
Join the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Ways of Working Workshop, a practical resource for individuals and organisations seeking to embed culturally safe, strengths-based and relational approaches into their work. This interactive online session builds on the themes introduced in the September Monday Lunch Live session.
Through facilitated discussion and small breakout groups, participants will engage with the Ways of Working framework and the Caring About Care research, and consider together how the principles might apply within a cancer care context. No prior attendance at the MLL is required, though it may add helpful context.
Cancer Australia is hosting the Australian Comprehensive Cancer Network’s (ACCN) Regional, Rural and Remote Networking workshop on Tuesday 17 March 2026 at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo NSW.
Workshop purpose
This workshop is the first major step in the ACCN long-term approach to strengthening networked cancer care in regional, rural and remote Australia. Participants will:
• Explore successes and barriers to networking for rural and regional health services
• Identify practical opportunities to strengthen partnerships between regional services, metropolitan centres and Comprehensive Cancer Centres
• Build momentum and relationships through in-person discussion that will inform a subsequent online national workshop.
Participants
This workshop will bring together health professionals, researchers, educators, rural medicine representatives, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers, consumers, and primary health care and cancer organisations. Your insights will play a vital role in strengthening networked cancer care in Australia.
Please note that places are limited, and virtual attendance is not available for this workshop.
Are you wondering how your work could translate into real-world impact for patients, clinicians or the health system?
Applications are now open for the next CSIRO ON Prime cohort – an immersive, nationally recognised program designed to help researchers explore the pathway from research to impact.
And it is free! Running from April to June (9 weeks), ON Prime is designed to help research teams:
- Validate whether their work is addressing a meaningful unmet need in cancer care
- Engage with patients, clinicians, and other end users to test key assumptions
- Gain practical frameworks to guide decision making around translation and impact
- Clarify possible next steps; whether that’s further research, partnerships, clinical pathways, or commercialisation
ON Prime is not about pitching… it’s about building confidence, clarity, and direction for your research.
A collaborative workshop focused on regional and rural Victoria
Are you a clinician, nurse, allied health professional, researcher or health worker in regional or rural Victoria with an interest in cancer research? Join this collaborative workshop designed to:
- Highlight and celebrate impactful research already underway across regional and rural Victoria services and disciplines to inspire attendees and promote knowledge exchange.
- Facilitate connections among researchers across regional and rural Victoria to foster an integrated and collaborative research community.
- Surface common themes, barriers, and opportunities across research in the regions to align future projects with regional needs and policy priorities.
Whether you are experienced in research, just starting out, or simply curious about how to get involved—we want you involved.
Our aim is to help new researchers get started and existing researchers to take the next steps by supporting the development of research ideas and future projects together and providing specialty education where needed.
EOI: Call for abstracts – Share your research journey
Are you a researcher in a regional or rural Victorian health service with a project that’s made it through ethics approval? We want to hear from you!
We’re looking for:
Projects that have ethics approval and are either in progress or completed – with presenters willing to briefly outline:
- How the research started
- Key enablers and barriers
- Learnings so far
- What you’d do differently next time
