A complex skill mix is required to fulfil this role, creating a training need for occupational therapists. Method This study retrospectively examined the evolution and sustainability of the cancer occupational therapy interest group, a cancer educational resource for occupational therapists within public health facilities in Queensland, Australia. Development of the programme was reviewed and data were analysed to examine involvement in the programme and confidence in providing cancer services. Results Membership of the interest group, participating locations and videoconference attendances all increased across the study period from 2012–2016. The practice areas participants most frequently reported confidence addressing were fatigue management and palliative care. Participants most frequently reported they were not confident addressing sexuality and relaxation management. Conclusion The cancer occupational therapy interest group provides an approach that demonstrates some utility with providing education and information for occupational therapists in cancer services.
