Kirsten Pilatti 2025 Joint Meeting of the COSA ASM and IPOS Congress

Kirsten Pilatti

Kirsten was appointed CEO of Breast Cancer Network Australia in March 2018. She has an exceptional understanding of the cancer sector having spent over 15 years at BCNA and in her previous role with Cancer Council Victoria. Kirsten is highly regarded for her passion and focus on Australian women and men who have been affected by breast cancer, and she is committed to giving everyone a voice and reducing the disparity of care across the country. Her deep connection to BCNA’s 160,000+ members was cemented after spending 18 months travelling around Australia interviewing more than 3,500 women and men about their experience of breast cancer treatment. The findings were published in the State of the Nation report, which was delivered to Federal Parliament in June 2018. She is also proud of the work she has done to turn the spotlight on important issues such as the out-of-pocket costs experienced by breast cancer patients, and driving changes to the Australian healthcare system, including better access to drugs through the PBS.
