LMICS

The Loddon Mallee Integrated Cancer Service (LMICS) was established in late 2004 by the Department of Human Services as one of the nine ICS across the state.

LMICS is based at Bendigo Health, as they are the host agency. In addition, there are also LMICS team members based in Mildura and Swan Hill.

The LMICS vision is that all people in the Loddon Mallee region, affected by cancer, will have Excellence in Cancer Care Locally.

The role of LMICS is to provide leadership and vision for the establishment and development of cancer services in the region. Its mission is:
to guide and coordinate the development of cancer services within the LMR and when required, facilitate highly specialised care outside the region.

LMICS is undertaking its role by consulting and collaborating with regional health partners and consumers. The goals of service improvement are being guided by a Strategic Plan that articulates a program to improve coordination and integration of services through care that is multidisciplinary, supportive, coordinated and responsive to the needs of the Loddon Mallee community.

LMICS publishes an Annual Report each year.

LMICS welcomes the enthusiasm, ideas and support of those experiencing cancer, as well as those who are treating and caring for those with cancer.
