The Cancer Institute NSW was established through an act of the NSW Parliament in 2003. The Institute has the statutory mandate to substantially improve cancer control in NSW and as a result decrease the devastating impact of cancer on individuals, their families and our broader society.

The specific objectives of Cancer Institute NSW are to:

  • Increase cancer survival
  • Reduce cancer incidence
  • Improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their carers and
  • Provide expert advice to patients, the public, health care professionals and the Government.

A major instrument for advancing these objectives has been the NSW Cancer Plan 2004-
2006, the State's first cancer plan. The Institute is now developing the second NSW
Cancer Plan for the period 2007-2010. This Discussion Paper has been prepared to assist
in developing the second Plan. The Discussion Paper can be read with its companion
document the NSW Cancer Plan 2004-2006: Lessening the Impact of Cancer: A Two Year
Progress Report.
