This program of work conducts research and evaluation to inform key campaigns and projects undertaken by the Screening, Early Detection and Immunization (SEDI) program in the Cancer Council Victoria’s Prevention Division. The SEDI program is primarily focussed on increasing cancer screening participation (for bowel cancer, cervical cancer and breast cancer) and vaccination for Human Papilloma Virus and viral hepatitis detection/prevention, with a focus on reaching priority at-risk communities, which include Aboriginal, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTIQ communities, people with disabilities and socio-economically disadvantaged communities.
