Breast Cancer Awareness Month

1 to 31 October 2024

October is Australia’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, providing an opportunity for us all to focus on breast cancer and its impact on those affected by the disease in our community. Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Australian women.

This October, we’re asking our SWSC community to help us raise funds to fuel life-saving breast cancer research.

Over 3,200 Australians are expected to lose their lives from breast cancer in Australia this year – that’s around nine people a day.
