Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) is a Non-Profit Organisation for Australians affected by breast cancer. Created in 1998 by CEO Lyn Swinburne, it focuses on supporting the individual. It links over 22,000 individuals and more than 181 breast cancer member groups across Australia. It is represented by the Pink Lady Logo.[1] [2]

BCNA distributes the 'My Journey Kit' to women recently diagnosed with breast cancer, the 'My Care Kit' for women who have breast surgery as a result of breast cancer and the 'Hope & Hurdles' kit for women with secondary (metastatic, advanced) breast cancer. Since 1998 BCNA has distributed over 30,000 My Journey Kits.

Key fundraising intiatives include the Field of Women, Pink Bun Month (Bakers Delight) Field of Women LIVE and Mini Fields of Women. BCNA relies on the support of individuals and corporations and is not affiliated with any government body.
