Common Survivorship Issues Directory

This Common Survivorship Issues Directory is for cancer survivors, their carers, friends, families and health professionals. It provides information and tools to support survivors to access evidence-based and quality survivorship care.

For each survivorship issue, we provide links and contacts for:

Resources, including fact sheets, videos and podcasts for cancer survivors and carers
Guidance documents and resources for health professionals
Clinical services at Peter Mac and in the Parkville precinct (The Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Royal Women's Hospital)
Relevant survivorship care projects

You may be able to self-manage some of these issues. Read more about self-management and cancer, and tools and resources to help you self-manage.

Survivorship Directory - additional information

We have developed this directory for several reasons:

To increase awareness of our survivorship services (mostly at our main site in Parkville / Melbourne) and at The Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Royal Women’s Hospital
As a handy guide to evidence-based guidance around survivorship issues and concerns
To highlight quality resources that are intended for patients and survivors, carers, and family members

At this stage, the focus of clinical services is on our patients and staff, though we hope to broaden our reach in the future.

Resources are from trusted cancer organisations. We have selected resources that we believe to be high-quality, and evidence-based. We have not wanted to produce a completely exhaustive listing.

Each section has been reviewed by qualified Australian health professionals and by people with a personal experience with cancer.

We do not intend to promote individual practitioners or commercial services.
