Care of the Older Person with Cancer
The VICS have recently published the Care of the Older Person with Cancer Toolkit which has been developed to assist health services to implement geriatric oncology interventions and thereby create an environment which will address the holistic outcomes of the older person with cancer. The toolkit is monitored by VICS staff to ensure currency of information and useability.
The project has been led by HRICS and SMICS and the toolkit was developed by Sian Wright, Project Lead – Cancer Service Improvement, HRICS and

VICS Commissioned Artwork
VICS commissioned this artwork to represent our commitment to providing an all encompassing and welcoming space for all indigenous and non-indigenous people.
HRICS, as part of VICS, support the process of working towards improved cancer outcomes for all patients receiving care in health services across the Hume Region.
HRICS engaged with all our MoU health services and offered a complimentary framed or canvas print to display within their clinical or waiting room environments.
Over ten health services accepted and will display the artwork supporting engagement, connection and cultural inclusion.

“This painting represents the growth
from the time we arrive on the land
to the time we go back to it. As we
connect to the lands and country we
travel through life from birth to death.
This painting shows us the hope and the
journey we face. Ultimately we are all
one with the environment we share and
our connection is vital to that”
