Because
young women
get breast cancer too.

So Brave is Australia’s only organisation focused on supporting, educating and advocating for young women with breast cancer.

Who We Are.

So Brave is the only breast cancer organisation in Australia dedicated to young women.

We provide information, support, and advocacy for those diagnosed 40 and under, because this experience looks different when you’re young.

What We Do.

At So Brave, we combine education, support, advocacy, and community action to change the experience of breast cancer for young women.

Education & Awareness

Webinars, podcasts, online resources, and workshops for schools, universities, workplaces, and health professionals.

Support & Connection

Peer networks, mental health resources, care packs, and clinic outreach.

Advocacy

Driving change in early detection, treatment access, and national policy so young women’s voices are heard.

Events & Fundraising

National campaigns, community fundraisers, and events that raise both awareness and impact.

Why We Exist.

Over 1,000 young women under 40 are diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia each year.1
Incidence in young women is increasing, yet awareness and early detection remain low.2
Young women are more likely to be diagnosed later and with aggressive subtypes of breast cancer. 3
The healthcare system is not designed for young women—many are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without support. 3

Educate.

Explore content made for young women: podcasts, webinars, downloads, and articles.

Fundraise.

Make a difference by hosting a morning tea, planning a workplace event, or creating your own unique fundraiser to support our mission.
