The ANZHNCS is a multidisciplinary society aiming to promote quality care for all head and neck cancer patients.
About us
The Australian and New Zealand Head and Neck Cancer Society (ANZHNCS) was established in 1998 to promote quality care for all head and neck cancer patients. Through leading a multi-disciplinary approach to education, research, care and advocacy, the ANZHNCS has been able to minimise the impact of head and neck cancer for thousands of patients. In order to help even more, it aims to: 1) Continue to improve our high quality Australian / New Zealand annual head and neck cancer multidisciplinary scientific meeting with invited international luminary speakers from a diversity of specialties who treat head and neck cancer. 2) Use the annual scientific meeting and the other gatherings of the society to promote collaboration and interdisciplinary team building between medical and allied health specialists with a major interest in managing head and neck cancer throughout Australia and New Zealand. 3) Be a pathway of contact and building collaborative relationships with multidisciplinary international head and neck cancer societies. 4) Support research in head and neck cancer, and the sharing of knowledge.

We deeply admire John Farnham for courageously sharing his personal journey through oral cancer, shedding light on the emotional and physical challenges faced by every patient survivor. His strength and resilience remind us of the incredible fortitude required to endure treatment, from the surgeries to the emotional highs and lows of recovery. To all survivors, your bravery touches our hearts and inspires us every day. #OralCancerAwareness #SurvivorStrength #ANZHNCS #ThankYouJohnFarnham https://lnkd.in/gSVy29hd

ANZHNCS is proud to stand alongside Head and Neck Cancer Australia in their tireless advocacy to improve the lives of head and neck cancer survivors. We’re honoured to have attended the recent parliamentary lunch, supporting their call for a pre-election commitment by the federal government for a Medicare-funded scheme for maxillofacial prostheses. Access to these essential treatments is vital to restoring quality of life after head and neck cancer, and we are united in this important cause. Together, we can make a lasting impact. #ANZHNCS #HNCawareness #HANCA #MaxillofacialProsthesis #AdvocacyInAction
On Tuesday, we held a lunch at Parliament House, Canberra, to highlight the critical gap in recovery faced by many Head and Neck Cancer survivors. Hosted by Senator Deborah O'Neill, Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Cancer Care and Cure Group, the event brought together Members of Parliament, healthcare professionals, patients, and carers to discuss how we can help those who have had part of their face or mouth removed and are struggling with the profound and disfiguring side effects of treatment to literally feel whole again. We also met with Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, the Hon. Ged Kearney MP and Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, the Hon. Michaelia Cash to discuss the critical need for dedicated funding to support Head and Neck Cancer survivors. Sophie Fleming, an anaplastologist, asked those in attendance to imagine: "If this was you, what would you like your choice to be? I can’t fathom what it would be like to have my nose missing. Help us create a country that provides a dedicated funding scheme for these patients." Read the proposal: https://lnkd.in/giKJxjTz You can get involved by sharing this submission with your local member and advocating for equitable treatment for #HeadandNeckCancer patients around Australia.

Applauding the resilience and courage of Nancy Bezerra, a valiant head and neck cancer survivor, for boldly sharing her challenging journey of accessing dental care. Sobering figure that 50% of H+N centres in Australia have dentists as part of the team. Her story serves as a vivid reminder of the importance of improving dental care access before and after cancer treatment. #ANZHNCS24 #survivorship #headandneckcancer #speechtherapist #physiotherapists #dietitians #surgeons #oncologists #dentists #anaplastologists
