🎉 Please Welcome Our New Online Network Moderators! 🎉
We’re excited to introduce two new members of our moderation team, Elena_BCNA and Beth_BCNA ! 🌟 You may already recognise their names from our Helpline, where they’ve been supporting members over the phone for the past couple of months and following along the discussions in our online community. Whether you're looking for information, encouragement, or simply a place to connect with others who understand, our team is here to help make the Online Network a welcoming, safe and supportive space. 💕 Meet Beth 👋 Hi everyone! I'm excited to be joining the moderator team. I have a Diploma in Health Science and am in my final year of a Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion. I've previously worked with Canteen Australia and am passionate about creating supportive spaces where people feel heard and connected. A few fun facts about me: I'm an avid sports fan, love a good book, and enjoy road trips, hiking, and swimming in my spare time. 📚🏊♀️🚗 Meet Elena 👋 I have a background in science and healthcare, with experience working directly with patients in general practice and skin cancer care. I'm passionate about supporting people affected by breast cancer and helping them access the information and care they need. Outside of work, I love live music and spending time with my dog and cat. 🎶🐶🐱 We're thrilled to have Elena and Beth joining the team and know they'll make a wonderful contribution to our community. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome in the comments below and say hello! 💖👏25ViewsSign in to react to this post0Comments🌟 Something Exciting is Coming… Are you ready to be a Community Champion?

One great way to engage with others is by tagging them in your posts or comments. Tagging helps notify someone that you’re talking to them or mentioning them in a conversation. What does “Tagging” mean? Tagging is when you mention another member by name in a post or comment using the @ symbol. It creates a clickable link to their profile and sends them a notification so they can see your message. How to tag someone Just follow these steps: Type the @ symbol in your post or comment. Start typing the person’s username (e.g. @JaneSmith). A list of matching names will appear - click the correct one. The name will turn into a link once posted. Example: Tips for Tagging You can tag more than one person in a post. Make sure you spell the username correctly. We hope the above instruction is helpful in making your conversations more personalised. If you need further support or guidance navigating the Online Network, please contact our Helpline 1800 500 258.135ViewsSign in to react to this post0CommentsWelcome New Members - 7th March 2025
