“… the group is about connecting and supporting each other. I feel that the main purpose for the group is to get women together that UNDERSTAND each other and what each individual is going through. There are only a selective amount of people who fully understand.”

About Thursday Girls
Thursday Girls comprises a warm, supportive and inclusive community of women who are living with advanced breast cancer, and their partners. This cancer is incurable, but due to ongoing improvement in treatment options, many women are able to live satisfying, productive lives for many years.
The Thursday Girls program includes two separate weekly therapeutic support groups for those with a Metastatic diagnosis, and a similar twice-monthly group for their partners.
The groups have three main functions: to share information, create meaningful relationships with people in similar situations and get in touch with difficult feelings and thoughts, dilemmas and challenges.
One group meets face to face in Box Hill, a suburb in Melbourne’s east.
The other group meets weekly on Zoom. This enables women who live in other parts of Victoria or those too unwell to travel in person to join remotely.
We are a registered charity with the ACNC and have DGR status for tax purposes.
