Methodology
Background
The Tripartite Committee, Chaired by A/Prof Chris Milross, approved the project to develop the Tripartite National Strategic Plan for Radiation Oncology (Australia) 2012-2022 on 1 April 2011.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) received funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, on behalf of the Tripartite Committee, to undertake the development of the Plan between July 2011 and June 2012.
The project was managed by RANZCR, on behalf of the Tripartite Committee, under the direction of Ms Natalia Vukolova, Director of the Faculty of Radiation Oncology, RANZCR.
Notices advising the radiation oncology professions of the project to develop the Plan were circulated via member publications by the three organisations of the Tripartite Committee in 2011. In line with the funding agreement with the Department of Health and Ageing, updates on the status of the project were provided to the officers of the Commonwealth when requested.
