Our point of difference

“Many professional organisations are conservative and inward-looking. COSA is progressive, innovative and engaged. If you want to change the world of cancer, COSA is the place to be.”

Make a difference, be involved in advocacy

“COSA provides a platform for advocacy for system reforms to improve the safety and quality of healthcare. Mainly because of COSA, the Regional and Rural Group was able to drive the development and implementation of the teletrial model to enhance regional access to clinical trials.”
