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 research 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.

“We were told my sister Claire had years. We made plans to visit, make memories, celebrate my milestone of 10 years cancer free and introduce her to her new great-niece, Aurora. Instead, we lost Claire just three months after her metastatic breast cancer diagnosis.” 💗

Claire never got the chance to celebrate the milestones that mattered most. She never got to live the future she had worked so hard to build.

Behind every breast cancer death is a story left unfinished. That's why continued investment in breast cancer research matters, helping more families have the time and milestones they deserve.

Research gives more people the chance to finish their story.

And until nobody dies from breast cancer, our work isn't done. 💗

Investing in research has transformed breast cancer outcomes but until nobody dies from breast cancer, our work isn't done. 🩷

While research has helped reduce Australia’s breast cancer death rate by more than 40 per cent over the past three decades, nine people in Australia still die from the disease every day.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we commissioned consumer research that reveals a gap between people’s awareness and understanding of the impact of breast cancer. While most people recognise that breast cancer remains a significant health issue, many people underestimate its ongoing impact.

Encouragingly, Australians overwhelmingly recognise the critical role research plays in improving breast cancer outcomes, with nine in ten agreeing continued investment in breast cancer research is very or extremely important.

Behind every breast cancer death is a person whose future was cut short, leaving a story unfinished. Research gives more people the chance to finish their story.

Every story deserves the chance to be finished.

But for too many Australians, breast cancer takes away the moments that were meant to come next:

💐 The family wedding
📈 The next career step
⌚ The long-awaited retirement
👶 Meeting a new grandchild

Every day, nine Australians die from breast cancer, leaving futures cut short and stories unfinished.

That's why NBCF-funded researchers are working towards the breakthroughs that will help more people reach life's most important milestones.

Research gives more people the chance to finish their story.

And until nobody dies from breast cancer, our work isn't done. 💗

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re launching Unfinished Stories, shining a light on the lives still being cut short by breast cancer and a powerful reminder of why research matters.

Research helped change Rose's future. But for her family, a breast cancer diagnosis brought months of uncertainty, difficult conversations and the fear that comes with not knowing what lies ahead.

That's why NBCF-funded researchers are working to develop more personalised treatment options for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), helping more people spend less time in treatment and more time with the people they love.

Together, we can fund the research that helps save lives and move us closer to our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. 💗 Support life-saving research today: http://nbcf.org.au/donatetoday

Aimee was just 31 when she was diagnosed with stage 2B (IIB) Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+) breast cancer. As a young mum with a two-year-old and a four-year-old at home, life was already busy.

Aimee remembers everything moving quickly after her diagnosis. She met with a surgeon the very same day, with further scans and appointments to follow. Genetic testing identified an abnormality of uncertain significance, which has been kept on file for further research.

Aimee's decision to contribute her blood sample reflects the vital role people with lived experience play in advancing research. Contributions like hers help support studies such as Professor Christobel Saunders' NBCF-funded work to strengthen kConFab, Australia's national resource for studying familial breast cancer.

"It was an easy decision for me to say, 'Keep my blood on file'. I have a daughter, and I don't want her to go through this."

Now, two years on from her diagnosis, Aimee hopes her experience can help create a better future for others. "I want to use what hasn't been an easy journey to hopefully help other women."

By supporting breast cancer research, you're helping us better understand risk, improve prevention and move closer to a future with Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Help us prevent breast cancer for more people like Aimee and her daughter. Donate today: https://nbcf.org.au/donate/ 💗

We're thrilled to announce that Vorgee will be joining us as an Official Sponsor of Swim for Breast Cancer this November! 💗

Having supported Swim for Breast Cancer since its launch in 2024, the team at Vorgee has been with us from day one. This year, they're taking the plunge to help us get more Australians into the pool and raise funds for world-class breast cancer research.

As a valued supporter of NBCF for almost 20 years, Vorgee proudly stands alongside us in our mission to achieve Zero Deaths from breast cancer. “Our partnership with NBCF is about two things: hope and honour. It’s how we honour those in our family, workplace, and wider circles whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer, and it’s about the hope that life-changing research will make a future with Zero Deaths from breast cancer possible. As a business immersed in swimming, seeing our community come together through the Swim Challenge to help make that future possible means an enormous amount to us.” - Maria Vorgias, Operations Manager, Vorgee.

With Vorgee and our Swim for Breast Cancer participants by our side, we're excited to make an even bigger impact for breast cancer research this November.
