Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Australian women.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October provides a timely reminder for us all to focus on breast cancer and its impacts.

Take the time this month to find out what you need to know about breast awareness and share this important information with your family, friends and colleagues.

Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. You don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to check your breasts.
