Thursday Girls Advanced Breast Cancer Support Group

Thursday Girls is a supportive and inclusive community of women who are living with advanced or metastatic breast cancer, and their partners.

This cancer is incurable, but due to ongoing improvement in treatment options, many women are able to live satisfying, productive lives for many years.

The Thursday Girls program includes free, weekly, professionally-led therapeutic support groups for women, and a similar monthly group for their partners. This is an evidence-based approach which has been shown to improve quality of life for those with this diagnosis.

The groups have three main functions: to share information, create meaningful relationships with people in similar situations and get in touch with difficult feelings and thoughts, dilemmas and challenges.

One groups currently meets face to face in Box Hill, a suburb in Melbourne’s east, with a city-based group commencing in 2026 once it is fully subscribed. We also facilitate a zoom-based group for members who are based in regional, rural or remote parts of Victoria, or those who are too unwell, or cannot make an in-person session. Members are welcome to move between groups.

The partners group meet by zoom, and occasionally catch up socially in person.
