Welcome to Grampians Integrated Cancer Service (GICS)

Grampians Integrated Cancer Service (GICS) is a cancer service improvement organisation covering the Grampians Region of Victoria. GICS was initiated and is funded by the Victorian Department of Health (DH) through their Cancer and Palliative Care Unit.

Nine Integrated Cancer Services (ICS) cover the state of Victoria with the aim to improve the journey for cancer patients and their carers and families through collaboration with the many people and organisations who treat and care for those with cancer and those close to them.

GICS engages with people affected by cancer through its “Consumer Engagement” strategy to identify problem areas and to find solutions to those issues which make dealing with cancer more difficult.

Wellness refers to the wellbeing of the whole person during and after cancer treatment. The Ballarat Regional Integrated Cancer Centre will have a Wellness Centre for people with cancer and their families and carers. Go to our Wellness page via the button below to see more about Wellness Care.

GICS welcomes our new Manager, Bridget Wislang. Bridget looks forward to meeting and working with the cancer care professionals in the Region to improve the experience of people affected by cancer.
