    Strategic planning

    Every day Cancer Council SA’s staff, Ambassadors, volunteers and supporters unite to bring us another step closer to our vision of beating cancer. Our passion and dedication are focused towards the objectives set out in the 2012 - 2015 Strategic Plan.

    The 2012 - 2015 Strategic Plan sets out Cancer Council SA’s direction for the next three years.

    The new plan was developed taking into account:

    • the achievements and learning from the 2009 – 2012 Strategic Plan
    • the current economic and operating environment
    • changes in the treatment and management of cancer
    • the changing demand for Cancer Council SA services.

    The Board of Directors, together with the executive team, provided the framework. Management developed the plan in accordance with the framework, seeking expert advice where appropriate.  Key stakeholders – doctors, researchers, consumers, donors, support groups and government health officers - were provided the opportunity to contribute and shape the strategic plan during its formative stages.

    The Board of Directors endorsed the Strategic Plan 2012 – 2015 on 24 August 2012.

    The Strategic Plan plays a central role in Cancer Council SA’s decision making process and in the formation of the annual operating plan and budget. Management provide the Board of Directors a quarterly report addressing the goals set out in the plan, the key actions undertaken during the reporting period and progress towards achieving the Strategic Plan’s objectives.
