Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science🧪🔬
For this week's Wednesday Wellness check in, we're celebrating the women in our Seat at the Table (SATT) program who turn lived experience into leadership by shaping breast cancer research, innovation and clinical practice. Established in 2001, SATT has grown significantly, increasing the representation of women in research projects and strengthening outcomes for people affected by cancer. From collaborating with researchers to informing national policy, our SATT program ensures that lived experience influences decision-making and drives meaningful change. Thank you to these women who collaborate with clinicians, researchers, health service providers and policymakers across Australia to embed the consumer voice in decision-making.
