The Grampians Integrated Cancer Service (GICS) is a partnership of 21 member services, serving people affected by cancer in 11 Local Government Areas in Victoria’s Grampians region

GICS is one of nine Integrated Cancer Services (ICS) that make up the Victorian Integrated Cancer Services (VICS); Victoria’s cancer service improvement network.

GICS are guided by a governance group that comprises of 10 representatives from our 21 member services and 2 consumer representatives from our Consumer Advisory Group.

We are an integral mechanism for local implementation of the Victorian Cancer Plan. We achieve this by building relationships with health care providers, consumers and other cancer care stakeholders to improve experiences and outcomes for people affected by cancer.
