As part of our advocacy work, BCNA makes submissions to government inquiries on issues that may affect women living with breast cancer, and their families.
We also review government decisions and initiatives that may affect women, and respond to them where appropriate. These are important in ensuring women's views are heard and are considered in the decision-making process.
