This section of the website is designed to help health professionals quickly find the resources and information needed to support people affected by breast cancer.
Research shows that well-informed patients are less anxious, and better able to be involved in making the best evidence-based treatment decisions for them.

Important note about hard copy resources
Due to the impact of COVID-19 and the unforeseen reduction in fundraising income, BCNA is experiencing increased financial pressure across all of our services right now. We have therefore made a decision to temporarily suspend the distribution of hard copies of My Journey, Hope & Hurdles and the DCIS booklets and ask that you instead refer your patients to My Journey. The platform provides the most up-to-date, tailored information based on your patient’s diagnosis. If your patient does not have internet access, or you need any further support or information about My Journey, please call our Helpline on 1800 500 258. Thank you for your understanding and support to work with us during this time so that BCNA can continue to provide these free services to your patients.
Update on metastatic breast cancer counselling service
BCNA will no longer offer Metastatic Breast Cancer Counselling Services and will now refer people to the appropriate counselling service option depending on their needs and requirements. Our engagement with BCNA’s Metastatic Breast Cancer Advisory Group will provide a regular mechanism to discuss and review any impacts identified and help ensure appropriate solutions are considered.
