THIS IS WHAT WE’RE UP AGAINST
Since NBCF's inception in 1994, NBCF has invested over $200M into more than 600 world-class research projects across Australia. During this time, the five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer in Australia increased from 76% to 92%. This is progress to be proud of but the job is not done. Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and the most common cancer among females. By registering to Give it Up for Breast Cancer you can take a stand against breast cancer and help NBCF raise much needed funds for life-changing breast cancer research.
Research is the best way to stop deaths from breast cancer.

MEET SOME OF OUR NBCF-FUNDED RESEARCHERS
In 2024 the NBCF awarded $13.5 million into 19 world-class research projects with a focus on understanding genetic drivers of breast cancer in young women, how technology can be used to improve breast cancer screening, and how breast cancer cells survive and spread informing better treatment options for some aggressive forms of breast cancer.
