How we can help

Breast care nurses are patient advocates. They are our clients’ main contact and source of information throughout their treatment, empowering them in their relationships with their healthcare team. Breast care nurses also provide emotional support for the client and their family, as well as evidence-based information and resources to help them live well with, and after, cancer.

Breast cancer treatment can reduce a client’s capacity to work and perform everyday tasks that many of us take for granted.

By providing short-term f inancial relief and practical support services (such as household cleaning, child care or transport to and from appointments), we aim to reduce distress for those experiencing hardship.

Our Living Well program is a community-based survivorship initiative offering a range of wellness activities, workshops and educational webinars. Tailored support is available for people living with metastatic breast cancer and those who have finished active treatment for early breast cancer.

Just because you live in rural WA doesn’t mean you can’t access Breast Cancer Care WA’s services. Our specialist breast cancer nurses and counsellors are available either by phone or online. We also have online-only support groups, workshops and webinars available.
