Section 2: Outcomes and Planned Performance 2.1 Outcomes and Performance Information Minimised impacts of cancer, including through national leadership in cancer control with targeted research, cancer service development, education and consumer support Outcome Strategy The Australian Government, through Cancer Australia, aims to minimise the impact of cancer and improve health outcomes for people affected by cancer by coordinating and leading national, evidence-based interventions across the continuum of cancer care. Cancer is the largest contributor to the burden of disease and injury in Australia, accounting for 19 per cent of the total burden., In Australia, one in two men and one in three women can expect to be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85 years and the incidence of cancer is projected to continue to increase. It is estimated that, in 2013, 125,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer. By 2020, the incidence is projected to be 150,000; an increase of 20 per cent within the next seven years. In order to minimise the impact of cancer, Cancer Australia will: translate evidence to inform the development and implementation of policies and programmes in cancer control; promote clinical best practice to health professionals across Australia; lead the development of innovative, sustainable, and evidence-based models of cancer care; strengthen national data capacity; fund research in priority areas; provide information for people affected by cancer about their diagnosis and treatment; and raise community awareness about the disease. Cancer Australia will work in partnership with consumers, health professionals and professional colleges, researchers and research funding bodies, non-government cancer and health organisations, other health portfolio agencies and Governments.
