Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia

The Prostate Cancer Specialist Nursing Service is a 3 year funded program to test a number of Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurses in a variety of Australian health care contexts in partnership with health service providers.

The program was officially launched on the 3rd of May, 2012 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Nurses employed as part of this program met for their initial training and then returned to their hospitals to continue their great work.
