Movember has a strong track record in the cancer space, having invested $640 million into 850 projects across prostate cancer and testicular cancer since 2003. Movember funded prostate cancer registries hold data from 290,000 men across 25 countries including almost 250,000 PRMs. This includes Australia’s largest cancer registry, the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Registry – Australia New Zealand (PCOR-ANZ).
However, to affect change in a national system, we know we need to look beyond individual cancer types and work together as a cancer sector. We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Australian Government and working alongside a sector-wide consortium to drive positive changes in Australian cancer care.
Movember and Cancer Australia and the Department of Health and Aged Care have committed funding to the Pan Cancer Initiative until mid-2027. However, our goal is to ensure that all the work undertaken is sustainable and scalable beyond the initial life cycle of this initiative. This means building systems, processes and collaborations that continue delivering value long into the future.
The overarching goal of the Pan Cancer Initiative is to improve cancer care outcomes for patients by embedding PROMs and PREMs into the system. The patient’s voice is at the heart of everything we do. To ensure this, we actively consult with patients throughout the initiative, gathering their perspectives to inform our work. Patients will also contribute through Advisory Groups and participation on our Steering Committee. This approach ensures the patient’s voice is central to guiding our efforts and shaping the future of cancer care.
There are various ways to get involved, depending on your expertise and experience. Please contact us for general enquiries, to get involved in specific projects, or to express an interest in joining the Consortium.

The Australian Real World Cancer Evidence Network and the Draft National Cancer Data Framework are both actions under the Australian Cancer Plan, and while they are separate pieces of work, they are closely related. The Draft Framework aims to enhance cancer data reporting and timeliness at a national, health service and clinical levels, promoting a "collect once, use many times" approach. While the Australian Real World Cancer Evidence Network focuses solely on PROMs and PREMs, the Draft Data Framework includes the entire cancer data ecosystem. In this regard, the Australian Real World Cancer Evidence Network is one of several projects to support the implementation of the Draft Data Framework.
