Special Guest Speaker:

We are honoured to welcome Mary Omond, a breast cancer survivor and champagne expert. Her story of resilience and strength will be one of the highlights of the morning. Not only will she share her personal journey, but she will also delve into the fascinating history of champagne and the pivotal role that women have played in influencing its development. Her unique perspective will surely inspire all in attendance.

Why Attend?

Breast cancer touches the lives of so many, with over 20,000 Australian women diagnosed each year. Early detection through screening is one of the most effective ways to improve outcomes, with research showing that early detection can increase the 5-year survival rate to over 90%. Despite this, only about 54% of eligible Australian women participate in regular breast screening. By attending our Raise a Glass Breakfast, you will be contributing directly to vital research that will help make breast screening more accessible and effective for women across Australia. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer while enjoying a meaningful morning in great company.

Support the Cause:

In addition to a memorable morning, the funds raised through this event will go directly to supporting research into breast screening methods, helping to save lives through early detection and improved care.

Let’s come together to support this important cause, enjoy a lovely breakfast, and hear an inspiring story about the powerful influence of women. Make sure to purchase your tickets soon and join us for this wonderful event! Every attendee helps bring us closer to a future where breast cancer is caught early and treated successfully.

The Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) is a health promotion charity dedicated to improving access to quality healthcare across Australian communities. Our mission is to support the vital work of general practitioners (GPs), enhancing the care they provide and promoting disease prevention to ensure the health and well-being of all Australians.

Since our founding in the mid-90s, AGPN has been committed to advocating for general practice, working closely with GPs to prevent and manage diseases through innovative education, community initiatives, and evidence-based advocacy. As a charitable institution, we focus on disease prevention, striving to improve health outcomes for individuals and promote healthy lifestyles that reduce the risk of illness. Our collaborative approach allows us to work with healthcare providers, government agencies, and other stakeholders to make a lasting impact on public health.

In recent years, AGPN has been instrumental in several key initiatives, such as introducing the Meningococcal B vaccination into the South Australian childhood immunisation schedule and reducing the impact of Influenza outbreaks in SA nursing homes. We are currently advocating for greater collaboration between breast screening programs and GPs to increase participation rates and exploring ways to use technology to assist Alzheimer’s patients and their carers, particularly in rural areas.

At AGPN, we are passionate about supporting general practices so they can thrive and deliver exceptional healthcare services to their communities. Our goal is to create a sustainable healthcare ecosystem where every GP has the resources they need to provide high-quality care to their patients. Through our advocacy, disease prevention efforts, and practice support services, we continue to make a real difference in the lives of Australians.
