Summary
This project will significantly contribute to Indigenous health research through addressing the current knowledge gap about the unmet support needs of Indigenous cancer patients in Queensland. This study will also investigate if the existing cancer supportive care is adequate for Indigenous patients and how an indigenious patient navigator will adress the barriers to accessing existing care. Indigenous research capacity building is a strong element of this project.
