Breast Cancer Care WA is committed to walking together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with respect, humility and shared purpose.
Through meaningful collaboration, truth-telling and culturally safe care, we strengthen our relationships and specialist services while creating pathways toward a more equitable health future.
We strive to ensure that every person and community across Western Australia feels supported and empowered throughout their breast cancer experience.
We are finalising our Reconciliation Action Plan to help close the gap in breast cancer care for First Nations people. These individuals face notable challenges in accessing timely screening, receiving prompt diagnoses, and obtaining appropriate treatment for breast cancer. It is imperative we close the divide as soon as we can and enhance the outcomes for First Nations people with breast cancer.

Sharing an experience is an essential part of healing and helping each other is a way of healing ourselves.”
