October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Each October, the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) shines a light on an issue that touches so many lives across Australia — breast cancer. It’s the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the country, with an average of nine Australians losing their lives every single day to the disease.

At the Australian Well Control Centre (AWCC), we’re proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and stand alongside those whose lives have been affected. This month is about more than wearing pink, it’s about raising awareness, supporting research, and contributing to a future where no one dies from breast cancer.

The NBCF’s goal of Zero Deaths from Breast Cancer can only be achieved through ongoing research and innovation, understanding how the disease starts, grows, and spreads so it can be stopped in its tracks. Every donation, conversation, and show of support helps drive that mission forward.

We encourage our team, students, and community to take a moment this month to learn more, show support, and get involved, whether it’s through a donation, wearing pink in the workplace, or starting a conversation that raises awareness.

Together, we can help make a difference and move closer to a future free from breast cancer.
