Kirsten Pilatti
Chief Executive Officer
Kirsten has spent two decades in the not-for-profit space in Australia, cultivating a deep understanding of the cancer sector through her roles at BCNA and at Cancer Council Victoria. She is highly regarded in the industry and has a visible media profile thanks to her passion and commitment to giving everyone affected by breast cancer a voice and reducing the disparity of care across the country.
In 2024, Kirsten was appointed as a member of the newly formed Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Review Implementation Advisory Group (IAG), which is geared towards achieving generational reform in Australia’s healthcare system.
She leads a team who is focused on better advocacy and support for those affected. She is proud of how BCNA has shone a spotlight on important issues such as the those faced by people living with metastatic breast cancer, access to breast reconstruction, driving changes to the healthcare system, and achieving equity of access to ensure all Australians can access the very best care, treatment and support.
