National Breast Cancer Foundation

National Breast Cancer Foundation Since our inception in 1994, NBCF have invested around $200M into more than 600 world-class research projects across Australia.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia's leading not-for-profit organisation funding world-class breast cancer research towards our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. In this time, death rates from breast cancer in Australia have reduced by over 40%. We’ve seen remarkable results, but the job’s not done. At NBCF, we’re determined to create a better tomorrow. We know resea

rch matters, and it is central and critical to improving breast cancer outcomes. Through our grant schemes, we fund the very best breast cancer research in Australia– from fundamental biological research to clinical research via an open national, competitive and rigorous peer review process. This means we award grants by order of merit to the finest breast cancer research in alignment with our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. As a completely community-funded organisation, NBCF’s ability to support game-changing breast cancer research relies on the generosity of the Australian public.

Meet Tina - a two time breast cancer survivor, diagnosed 13 years apart and living proof of why research matters.

For Tina, breast cancer research isn’t just important - it’s personal. She believes research is the key to better diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for people facing breast cancer today and in the future. That’s why she has chosen to leave a gift in her Will to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Tina’s legacy gift is about hope. It’s about ensuring research continues and moves us closer to Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Leaving a gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision. If you’d like to have a confidential conversation, our team is here to help.

The House Of Wellness hosts, Melissa Doyle and Shane Crawford are joined by pro-athlete Dominic Di Tommaso and National Breast Cancer Foundation CEO, Dr Cleola Anderiesz to unpack a health issue often hidden in plain sight: inherited cancer risk.

Known for pushing physical limits as a freerunner and parkour athlete, Dom shares how a strong family history of cancer led him to discover he carries the breast cancer (BRCA) gene mutation. Alongside Dom’s powerful personal story, Dr Anderiesz breaks down the realities of inherited gene mutations that are linked to breast cancer.

Research offers hope for families like Dom’s where genetic markers shape difficult decisions and transforms awareness into action. His advocacy shows that awareness is not just knowledge, it’s the power to help change lives.

✨With the first episode of KYLIE now airing, her story is a powerful reminder that breast cancer can affect women at any age.

In Australia:
- Around 1,000 women under 40 are diagnosed each year – that’s 3 every day.
- Around 1 in 3 breast cancers recur after initial treatment

That’s why funding research into breast cancer is so important. NBCF-funded researcher Associate Professor Christine Chaffer from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research is leading a research program called ‘AllClear.’ AllClear is focused on stopping breast cancer recurrence – helping those people who wonder everyday if their cancer will return.

Together, let’s make Zero Deaths from breast cancer possible. 💕

“I was 39 and perfectly healthy when I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.”

Rebecca first noticed stretch marks on her breast and assumed she might be pregnant. But after scans, biopsies and urgent referrals, she was told she had Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC).

But then came the news no one is prepared for – Rebecca's PET scan revealed she had stage 4 (IV) breast cancer and the cancer was now inoperable.

Being told she needed a mastectomy was devastating. Being told she was inoperable was even harder.

Today, Rebecca lives life in three month cycles – scan, wait, hope and then repeat.

Rebecca's story is a powerful reminder of why research into metastatic breast cancer is so important. Together, we can make Zero Deaths from breast cancer possible 💗

While the current standard of care treatment for metastatic breast cancer has significantly improved people's outcomes, relapse and treatment resistance may still occur.

That’s why TREAT is a core pillar of NBCF’s Pink Horizon Research Strategy.

NBCF-funded researcher Professor Geoffrey Lindeman and his team at WEHI - Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research aim to test new drugs that target a cancer survival protein that helps metastatic Estrogen Receptor Positive (ER+) cancer cells stay alive. These new drugs have already shown promise in blood cancers, and now they’re being re-purposed for breast cancer treatment.

The ultimate goal is to move this research into a clinical trial for people with metastatic ER+ breast cancer, which could potentially open up new treatment options and improve survival.

This is the future of treatment – safer, targeted and more effective. 💗

💗 Pink Hero of the Month: Aria 💗
This month, we’re shining a very bright pink spotlight on Aria.
She’s 10 years old and already changing lives.

Inspired by her Aunty Ana’s breast cancer journey, Aria decided to take action. One moment stayed with her most: watching her aunty lose her hair during treatment. It was confronting but it also showed Aria just how brave someone can be when facing something frightening. That courage became the spark for her own💪

With the support of her school and local community, Aria shaved her hair and raised an incredible $4,102 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation helping to fund world-class breast cancer research.

Her message to anyone thinking about fundraising?
“Be brave and ask your community to share. When you are cutting your hair, think of the reason you are doing it so you are less scared.”

Aria is proof that you’re never too young to make a powerful impact 💖 Her kindness brings us one step closer to Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
