Impact Report
Field of Women
In a breathtaking display of solidarity, BCNA’s 6th Field of Women painted a heartwarming portrait of community spirit, strength, and support. On a sun-kissed Melbourne Sunday in August, almost 10,000 individuals from all walks of life converged on the MCG. The crowd united to stand in the shape of the iconic Pink Lady silhouette, with thousands more across the nation joining in spirit through the livestream and broadcast. Donations from across the country raised more than $1.5 million for BCNA.
My third Field of Women. As ever emotional and humbled by the occasion. I cried for a dear friend who lost her battle, and I cried for myself, a very proud survivor. – BCNA member
Our Priorities in 2024
In year 3 of our strategic plan our focus is on improving the experiences of those living well with and beyond breast cancer. We will continue our advocacy where we see equity issues in accessing breast cancer treatment and care including: • Improved access to diagnostic imaging • Better access to breast reconstruction no matter where you live • Ensuring those with metastatic breast cancer are visible to health service providers and policymakers so that their needs are met • Ensuring life-saving and life-prolonging breast cancer drugs are more affordable through government subsidies • Providing people affected by breast cancer with the latest information, support and clinical advice in a format that suits their needs.
