We want to hear from you!
Women’s Health Victoria is researching how gender impacts experiences of cancer care for women (cis and trans), trans men, non-binary and gender diverse people in Victoria – and we want to hear from you.
We are conducting an online survey and interviews to better understand how gender may have impacted your experiences of cancer care and any suggestions you might have for how to make it better. To support this research, Women’s Health Victoria has engaged Impact Co., an independent research company.
You are invited to:
- Complete a short survey: the survey is voluntary and confidential and will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
- Participate in an interview: you can let us know if you are interested in taking part in a 1-hour online interview about your experiences. You don’t have to speak to us if you don’t want to.
You can take part in both, or just the survey or interview.
Your input will:
- Shape training for healthcare professionals
- Build evidence for policy change
- Help improve cancer care experiences for women (cis and trans), trans men and gender diverse people
