About BCNA's Online Network
Welcome to BCNA’s Online Network. The same network you know and love, but now even better and with a single login for our digital tools. Online Network has been designed around your needs, based upon your feedback. The platform enhances your user experience, security and accessibility, while connecting you with other people affected by breast cancer. Most of your data, settings, and preferences will remain as you set them on the previous version. If you have any questions, please go to our Frequently asked questions page in the first instance. To ensure we do not miss any of your feedback or technical issues please log these under the Get in Touch form to ensure feedback is collected in the centralised area. How to sign up and login If you’re feeling a bit lost about the sign up and login process, we have a video guide to help you along the way. If you’re still confused after watching the video and reading our Frequently asked questions page, please call us on 1800 500 258 and we will be able to help. Visibility of public posts and comments Please be aware that your posts and comments in the public discussions and public groups can be found and read by anyone, including those who are not members of the network. This means that what you share in a public discussion or public group may be read by a wider audience, please consider this when sharing sensitive or personal details. Community Guidelines We have updated our Community Guidelines. Please read through the guidelines before starting on the Online Network to ensure that you understand how we can support you and your obligations as a member of the community. The guidelines include information about community safety, privacy, prohibited content, feedback process and the consequences of breaking these guidelines. If you have suggestions or questions about the community guidelines or any aspect of moderation, please call us on 1800 500 258. Legacy Process Our updated Legacy Process explains how members of the Online Network can record their wishes for what happens to their account after death—either to have it memorialised or deleted. It outlines the steps for submitting written consent via email and explains the important role of a family member or legal representative in confirming the death and enabling those wishes to be carried out. For any questions, members or family can call us on 1800 500 258.How to start a discussion
We’ve recently updated our system, so the way you start a new discussion has changed slightly. We know that any change can be a little confusing at first, but we’re here to help make it as easy as possible. If you’d like to share a question, experience, or start a conversation, just follow the steps below. And remember, if you get stuck or have any questions, our Helpline is always here to support you. To start a discussion, select a category from the Online Network homepage under Categories. In your category, select from the Forums in this Category list. Early breast cancer, if your discussion is related to early breast cancer DCIS, if your discussion is related to DCIS Metastatic breast cancer, if your discussion is related to Metastatic breast cancer General, if your discussion is related to something else. On the right hand side of the banner, underneath the Search bar, you will see the button Start a Discussion. Click on this button to create your post.
