The evidence in better estimating and understanding the impact of cancer affecting Indigenous people has been developing progressively over the past ten years. While rates of cancer survival in Australia rank as one of the best in the world, there are known disparities in the incidence and outcomes for Indigenous people with cancer. To bridge the gap in disparities, improving the survivorship of Indigenous people involves the consideration of modifiable factors that are relevant to their wellbeing and their quality of life. The first step in addressing disparities in cancer survivorship in the Indigenous setting involves understanding what survivorship means. This requires the identification of factors and domains that wellbeing and quality of life will measure in order to better understand survivorship. It is acknowledged that Indigenous definitions of health encompass the physical, spiritual and emotional facets of the individual, family and the community. Therefore, it is expected that those factors contributing to quality of life and well-being for Indigenous people who have or have survived cancer will cover a range of topics including but not limited to connection to land, family, spirituality, physical, emotional, and psychological functioning, and social and community roles. To close the gap for Indigenous cancer survivors, there is a need for culturally-appropriate survivorship care.
