The draft position statement was informed by key literature, including the COSA Model of Survivorship Care, Australian Cancer Plan, a modified Delphi study defining nurse capabilities in survivorship care, and an overview of systematic reviews on nurse\u2010led care models. A consultation survey was then distributed via Qualtrics to CNSA and COSA members and partner organisations from October to November 2025. Respondents provided qualitative feedback across four domains: service delivery, research, education and policy. The expert panel incorporated the feedback and finalised the position statement, which was endorsed by COSA Council and CNSA Board in March 2026.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Submissions from 37 individuals and 10 organisations provided feedback on the draft position statement.

Feedback was highly supportive, with respondents endorsing the statement's comprehensiveness. Key feedback included calls for greater specificity around implementation in under\u2010resourced settings, recognition of survivorship as a nursing speciality, the need for a national survivorship minimum dataset, and emphasis on telehealth\u2010enabled models.
