My name is Lucy Gent (formerly Patton). I am the President and Board Chair of the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA). The CNSA was founded in 1998, and currently represents more than 1200 cancer nurses across Australia.

As the peak professional body for cancer nursing, the CNSA thrives to promote excellence in cancer care through the professional contribution of cancer nurses.

The CNSA Board of Directors is committed to strengthening the link between cancer nurses in Australia, the consumers of cancer nursing services, and other health professionals involved in cancer care.

Your CNSA membership enables you to access member benefits including; an annual cancer nursing congress, professional development and research grants, resources such as position statements to support practice, access to the Australian Journal of Cancer Nursing, locally planned and delivered professional development and to opportunities to join in specialist practice networks within the Society.

The CNSA website is a major communication hub designed to allow our members to access member benefits and high quality materials and presentations for their professional development.

If you are not yet a member, join CNSA today and partner with over 1200 Australian cancer nurses to achieve excellence in cancer care.
