Adding to the above helpful information @Abbeydog (which is correct). We have this very question asked on the Helpline and often we say if someone hasn't been recommended a Breast Care Nurse (McGrath or otherwise) then the important thing for them to do is ask "Who is the person who will support me if I have any questions?". This could be a registered nurse, general practice nurse, oncology nurse - in the private setting I have even heard of a 'Cancer Care Navigator'. It can be confusing for those who are not in metro area and those in the private system, as the multidisciplinary team may not be applicable.
