We have been having discussions everyday about our members and volunteers in regards to Covid. As you all know things are changing very quickly and every day!
We have made the decision to:
• Cancel all face to face catch ups including Information Sessions until further notice. However we are going to look into doing a virtual coffee catch up – stay tuned for that one!
• The Breast Cancer Nurses Drop-in Clinic at Calvary is still operating on a Wednesday afternoon however Bosom Buddies Support Team will not be in attendance.
What’s not changing:
• Our Support Team are still on hand and more than happy to chat over the phone, via text or email – and maybe via a virtual coffee group!!
• Our office is still open!
• Blue Buddy Bags & Oncology Packs – we will continue to pack and provide them to breast cancer patients across the ACT and surrounding regions.
• 25th Birthday Celebrations – plans will continue for our events set for later in the year. By then I think we will all be keen for a wonderful excuse to catch up.
Most importantly stay safe and stay in touch.
If there any anything that you need we are always here to help and support you xx

About Us
All our volunteers have experienced breast cancer personally or through loved ones. They are committed to providing support to every person in our community who is going through breast cancer treatment. We raise awareness in our community about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. We also fundraise throughout the year as we do not receive funds from allied research or breast cancer or national cancer organisations, or from governments. Find out more.
