How do we get a McGrath Breast Care Nurse in our region?

The McGrath Foundation provides funding for McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia. Each McGrath Breast Care Nurse is funded for a minimum of three years.

Each application will be considered on its merits. Please consider the basic criteria before developing an application for funding, including:

  • Funding is only available for the employment of specialist breast care nurses
  • Top-up funding for existing positions is not generally available
  • Rural and regional areas will be given priority status

A proposal can be submitted to the McGrath Foundation at any time and should consider the criteria outlined above. Apart from exceptional circumstances all proposals will be reviewed semi-annually and all applications will remain active for each review process.

If you would like to apply for funding, please complete the application form and return to bcnprogramme@mcgrathfoundation.com.au.
