Breast Care Nursing: Foundations for Practice is a distance education program that has been conducted for more than 10 years through the successful partnership of Cancer Council Victoria and La Trobe University. Around 900 nurses have graduated as accredited Breast Care Nurses throughout Australia since the program began more than 10 years ago.
This program is available as a single unit of study or core unit in the pathway to a Masters degree. The Master of Nursing (Breast Care) is a one and half year full-time or two to three year part-time award with exit options available at either graduate certificate (one year part-time, 60 credit points) or the post graduate diploma (one year full-time, or two years part-time, 120 credit points).
See our Think Pink Scholarships page for details on scholarships available.
On completion of the Breast Care Nursing: Foundations for Practice subject, Cancer Council Victoria will link you into a broad range of information and support services to complement you in the delivery of your clinical role.
We'll also provide you with ongoing professional development education opportunities to keep you up-to-date with the latest developments in the treatment and care of breast cancer.
