Federal Election result 2022

BCNA would like to congratulate all candidates elected by their local communities and the Australian Labor Party (ALP) on forming government.

We are looking forward to working with them on the implementation of their policy announcements that impact breast cancer treatment and care.

BCNA will continue to advocate for improvements to Australia’s healthcare system and health policies in the interests of people diagnosed with breast cancer.

We established six priority areas, including 17 specific recommendations, in our Election Manifesto that aim to address the key challenges being faced by our members.

• Improve mental health support for those with cancer
• Reduce the financial burden of breast cancer
• Invest in COVID-19 health system recovery and future sustainability
• Lead reform in breast cancer early detection
• Collect and report optimal care data
• Best use of telehealth
