We invite you to take part in a research project to understand the needs of carers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with cancer.
This is an important study because we know very little about the needs of these carers to better support Indigenous cancer patients. We want to identify what carers’ needs are and how we can measure them to improve the assistance they receive from health professionals and support services. Helping caregivers may also improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with cancer.
The Supporting Our Carers study is being run by researchers at Menzies School of Health Research and other universities.
Professor Gail Garvey, an Aboriginal woman, is leading the study.
