BCNA’s response to AIHW data.
Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) is calling on the Federal Government to immediately action recommended reforms to the national BreastScreen program. The newly released BreastScreen Australia Monitoring Report 2025 reveals a disappointing 2% increase in participation between 2021–22 and 2023–24. “Yes, more women are being screened — but that’s because there are more women, not because the program is performing better.” Says Vicki Durston, BCNA’s Director or Policy, Advocacy and Support Services BCNA is calling for urgent reform: ✅ Risk-based screening ✅ Breast density reporting ✅ AI & innovation investment ✅ National consistency ✅ Equity for Indigenous women BCNA says women and families cannot wait any longer for an effective, modern breast screening program and is calling for urgent action.

Today marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We know that for many in our network, this time can carry a range of emotions. This October, we’ve listened to our community — to the stories, the lessons, and the strength of more than 250,000 voices — and we’re bringing that forward to create awareness and empowerment for all. On October 9, we’ll reveal a national campaign that we believe can make a real difference for Australians. We look forward to sharing more with you soon.

PUBLIC GROUP - This group is for anyone passionate about raising awareness of breast cancer, whether you're here to learn, support a loved one, share resources, or help spread the word. Together, we explore ways to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and encourage early conversations about breast health. You don’t need to have a diagnosis to be part of this space—just a willingness to connect, listen, and contribute to a more informed and compassionate community. This group is open to the public (not just members of our online network) to help broaden access to important information, practical advice, and peer support.
