We’re looking for all kinds of individuals from all different walks of life (you don’t have to have had breast cancer). Members of our breast cancer community are aged 18 or over, come from right around Australia, and are predominantly women – though men can join too. You spend a few minutes signing up as a member, we get in touch if there’s a research project you might be suitable for, and it goes from there. The choice is always up to you about the level of participation you’re comfortable with.
