Our goal: Strategically position BCNA for the next 5 years
BCNA is a community of knowledge and support of those with a shared experience of breast cancer
We are reaching the end of our current Strategic Plan (2020–2025) and are turning our attention to our next phase of planning. With the rapidly evolving cancer landscape, we want to be clear about how to employ our resources and target our efforts to position BCNA for the future. We will engage with consumers and other stakeholders, supported by consultants to drive the development of our strategy and set out a comprehensive and well-structured vision about what we want to achieve and how we will do it. Over the last few years, we have seen the opportunities and challenges presented in the release of the first Australian Cancer Plan, advances in research, workforce shortages, innovative healthcare delivery, and the need for more personalised patient care. With increasing breast cancer prevalence, improving survival rates and drugs that can prolong life, we will be servicing a growing network in the future.
By investing in strategic planning and consultation and placing our members at the centre of this process, we are building a stronger, sustainable, and more responsive organisation that demonstrates impact and better supports Australians affected by breast cancer for years to come. How your investment can help Strategic planning consultations with members, consumer leaders, staff, and other key stakeholders from the sector will ensure we reflect on our achievements to date, consider the data from our own services and those of the sector, identify unmet needs and use these insights to identify future actions that will deliver the greatest impact for Australians affected by breast cancer. We aim to have the Strategic Plan 2025-30 finalised by May 2025.
Breast cancer affects not just individuals but entire communities. This year, over 21,000 people are expected to receive a breast cancer diagnosis in Australia, creating a ripple effect that touches families, workplaces, and local networks. A diagnosis often leaves people feeling isolated and unsure where to turn for support. BCNA seeks to be that place where people with a shared experience connect and support each other while contributing their voice to making a breast cancer experience better for those diagnosed in the future.
