Federal Election 2025: Priorities for Blood Cancer
Priorities for blood cancer
As the only national charity dedicated to helping more Australians survive their blood cancer and live well, the Leukaemia Foundation is dedicated to fighting for positive change for people living with blood cancer.
This Federal Election, we are seeking a ‘Fair Go’ for blood cancer patients in Australia. Australia has a world-class health system – however, blood cancer patients still face significant ongoing obstacles to ongoing survival and care. To improve patient outcomes and inequities in care we have proposed the following five recommended commitments to government:
- Assist patients to overcome systemic blood cancer care barriers
- Address rural inequities faced by Australian blood cancer patients
- Make life-saving blood cancer treatments available to patients
- Increase uptake of genomics in blood cancer treatment
- Increase the pool of stem cell donors in Australia
