Hi There everyone
Good on the Cancer Council NSW for running an advocacy skills program for YAC. Good initiative.
People might like to know that NSW is not the only state to run advocacy training programs. The next one in Victoria is run in collaboration with the Cancer Council Victoria, CanNET Victoria and Cancer Voices Victoria in May at Kilmore. Kilmore is about an hours drive north of Melbourne. Details are:
Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th May
Kilmore Trackside Entertainment Centre
Golden Reign Room
East Street, Kilmore VIC 3764
Contact: Gaël Castillo 9635 5069 or Email - Gael.Castillo@cancervic.org.au
There will be another training program on August 29th and 30th located in Carlton.
Like NSW past graduates of these training programs have gone on to be active advocates for improvement in cancer services, influence local and statewide cancer services, serve as consumer representatives on a number of state and national policy bodies and be involved in the direction of cancer research.
