Talking to community about cervical, bowel and breast cancer
Cancer Council Victoria, in partnership with BreastScreen Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO), have launched an educational resource for Aboriginal Health Workers, Aboriginal Health Practitioners and other health professionals working in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health.
