Welcome

The Breast Cancer Association of Queensland is a volunteer managed charity organisation dedicated to improving breast cancer services to women living in rural and regional Queensland by providing grants for the education and placement of breast care nurses, research grants, rural seminars and produce a Resource Directory of services and support available throughout Queensland. We also provide financial assistance grants for rural and regional patients for expenses relating to the treatment and travel costs.

Early detection makes a BIG difference.

Breast Cancer Association of Queensland exists to improve the quality of life for women with breast cancer and their families in Queensland. Every year in Australia approximately 13 000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer.

The Breast Cancer Association of Queensland's main focus has been to provide breast care services to women and their families in rural Queensland. Initiatives include the training and placing of support breast care nurses in Rockhampton, Longreach/Barcaldine, Mitchell, Emerald, Fraser Coast and now the Central West District. Annual seminars in regional areas help to raise awareness in the community of the importance of regular examinations. We also produce a Resource Directory and post-operative exercise DVD's free of charge to breast cancer sufferers. BCAQ have also invested substantially into various research programs in Brisbane.
