I thank Senator Bilyk for the supplementary. We want to ensure that everyone with cancer gets the care that they need when and where they need it, whether that be lung cancer or a rare cancer. We also recognise the depth of experience the cancer sector has in delivering specialised support to their patients. This is why we'll also be funding these organisations to deliver specialised telehealth support to patients across the country, integrating care with their cancer care nurse in hospital. This funding will also see the Cancer Council of Australia connecting people with cancer to information and support relevant to their needs through a new cancer navigation service. And it will see Canteen, in collaboration with Camp Quality and Redkite, continue the very successful child and youth cancer hub and Canteen Connect programs which are vital to young Australians experiencing cancer and the individual needs that they have.
