“An exciting milestone for the COSA Exercise in Cancer Implementation Action Plan!
As Chair of the COSA Exercise in Cancer Implementation Working Group, I’m delighted to share that we have officially launched our national stakeholder prioritisation survey at the COSA 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting!
It was fantastic to see the survey launched during Prof Haryana Dhillon and Prof Janette Vardy’s plenary session, marking an important step forward in the development of our National Action Plan.
Our Action Plan aims to build on existing strengths, identify where further work is needed, and guide coordinated action to better integrate exercise into routine cancer care.
Now we need your input!
Through this survey, we’re seeking perspectives from across the Australian cancer sector to help prioritise 12 key implementation challenges and identify where future efforts could have the greatest impact.
A huge thank you to the incredible members of our Implementation Working Group for their expertise, commitment and contributions in getting us to this milestone.
It’s been a fantastic collaborative effort, and I’m looking forward to hearing from the broader cancer care community as we take this next step.
Scan the QR code in the attached flyer to participate.
Please also share the survey with colleagues and networks who may be interested in contributing!”
Camille Short, Associate Professor at University of Melbourne, added:
“Seeking health professional and care leader’s input into COSA strategic action plan for implementing exercise and cancer recommendations.
The COSA position statement calls for exercise discussions, recommendations, referrals and programs to be routinely delivered in cancer care.
To implement this recommendation we need clinical and administrative, and governing input into what challenges to prioritise.
Please help and share.”
Bogda Koczwara, Director of the Australian Research Centre for Cancer Survivorship, also commented:
“Add your voice into the discussion on implementation of exercise in cancer care!”
