About this website
The first version of this website was produced in 2015 following the Aboriginal Patterns of Cancer Care research project.
An extensive consultation with community in 2023, by Ngakkan Nyaagu (NGNY) and Cancer Council NSW, led to the re-launch of the updated site in May 2023.
We would like to acknowledge the assistance and guidance of the following people and organisations:
The Aboriginal Advisory Committee members are:
Nicole Winters, Co-Chair
Clark Scott, Committee Member
Steve Widders, Committee Member
Mark Saddler, Committee Member
James Butler, Co-Chair and Board Member
