Field of Women information

We invite you to join us as 18,235 people stand together on the MCG and form our Pink Lady logo. This represents the number of Australians expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.  Everyone is invited – women, men and children can participate.

Field of Women 2018 is at 1.00 pm, before the round 21 AFL match between Melbourne and the Sydney Swans.  Family activities will commence in Yarra Park outside the MCG from 11.00 am.

Conference information

While the end of treatment may seem like the end of your breast cancer to others, you may find this time brings new challenges.

What’s ‘normal’ after cancer may be very different from your ‘old normal’.

Learn to live well beyond breast cancer at the Plan B survivorship conference, the day before the iconic Field of Women.

Whether your diagnosis was recent or many years ago, Plan B: Beyond Breast Cancer will help you to get the information, support and tips you need to deal with side effects such as fatigue, lymphoedema, relationship challenges and more.

Our website has more information about the one-day conference. This will be updated as we announce our program and speakers. 

Our website also has links to assist you with booking travel and accommodation for the weekend, with thanks to our friends at V/Line, Virgin, Crown Melbourne, Accor and Quest Apartments.
