Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) often writes to governments about issues that 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 to help ensure that the views of women are heard and considered in the decision-making process.
