The Cancer Institute NSW will consider sponsorship requests that support key stakeholders involved in the delivery and implementation of the NSW Cancer Plan, and that promotes activities and events which fall within the strategic framework of the NSW Cancer Plan:
- Reduction in cancer incidence
- Increase cancer survival
- Improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their carers
- Provide expert advice to patients, the public, healthcare professionals and organisations engaged in cancer control.
Sponsorship will be considered for activities that promote the control and defeat of cancer. This may include events that increase the awareness of cancer, promote cancer-avoiding behaviours and foster the uptake of early detection programmes or promote optimal therapy.
The Cancer Institute will also consider sponsorship proposals, including conferences, seminars and other educational programmes, that disseminate knowledge to key stakeholders and extend best practice across the clinical and supportive care pathway for people affected by cancer.
Sponsorship proposals outlining how the event, its aim, audience, content and profile contributes to the above criteria and increases the profile of the Cancer Institute should be sent to the Chief Cancer Officer.

Current Events that we are Supporting
Rural Cancer Nurses' Forum via Teleconference - 12 month sponsorship, July 2007- July 2008
South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Area Health Health Service (SESIAHS) has initiated a weekly, hour long teleconference - every Monday - during which rural cancer nurses discuss issues such as support programs, employment opportunities, service development models and initatives which bridge some of the gaps that exist for rural areas and share the experiences of individual areas.
The Rural Cancer Nurses' Forum provides network opportunities for rural cancer nurses working in isolated settings. It is recognised that cancer services in rurla areas are under-resourced, so opportunitites to interact with similarly situated services bridges gaps and builds an invaluable resource of rural cancer nursing knowledge.
