I have gone to Breast Care Victoria, in Port Melbourne, which I found very good.

But Myer in the city has also
been good too, with a wide range of bras.

Both can fit for swim wear and swim prostheses too!

Best wishes.

I was given my first bra in hospital, with a dacron encased filling.
If you have that or are month or 2 on, you may be looking for the next bra.
There is Medicare funding for this.
If you go to a reputable bra seller, they could assist you.
Make a few calls. Try Myer. I'm in SA, sorry.
