Unmet Supportive Care Needs for People With Cancer and Caregivers in South Australia

Supportive care for people with cancer and their caregivers requires an integrated approach that embeds psychological support, delivers accessible and tailored information, and ensures equitable access to practical resources. Aligning services with the Australian Cancer Plan can help reduce disparities, improve engagement, and enhance overall well-being. Future longitudinal research should explore evolving needs, with a focus on underrepresented populations, including culturally and linguistically diverse groups, men, younger individuals, and people with rarer cancers.
