Initiatives

OSWA is keen that membership assist in some of the new initiatives being pursued on behalf of the Oncology Social Work profession. By securing general membership participation it ensures that the organisation remains democratic, recognises the interests of membership with all having access to group activities, and serves to capture the diversity of practice in Australia.

This was the development of an educational program around the introduced psychosocial guidelines for the care of adults who were diagnosed with cancer. Although the NCCI is located in Melbourne, the intention was to involve social workers  in the planning and development of a national framework where social workers would also be disseminating these guidelines. Karen Todd, coordinated this project.
