Service delivery
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Report
We continue to strive to ensure all Western Australians have access to free breast cancer support that is personalised to their individual needs. Whilst the fundraising team worked on securing funding to expand the service department, corporate support was gained to appoint a Financial Assistance Officer. This shortterm role enabled existing breast care nurses and counsellors to focus more on providing emotional support and a truly comprehensive service due to less time constraints. In 2012/2013 we gained sufficient funding to expand the services team post year-end to support the continued growth of service delivery. An additional breast cancer nurse and counsellor will be appointed to meet the growing demand of our client base. In addition to one on one work with clients, these new staff will provide the capacity to establish additional support groups and continue our plans for more regular therapy groups.
“Since my breast cancer experience last year I have to say the path through the treatments and general disruption to my previously smooth sailing existence was paved with so much support and care from a source I knew nothing about until I met you Aileen. Words can’t really express the variety of ways in which your group supports folk like me. Thank you so much and please know your efforts are totally acknowledged.” Ros
Events and Marketing Our events remained our key fundraising strength during the year, building on what has sustained the organisation throughout its history.
Strategic overview and key highlights of 2012-2013
Investing in the future
2012/2013 saw the culmination of an extended period of growth, with an increased investment in staff to expand our services and build our fundraising capacity into the future.
With general donations declining over the last three years, a competitive marketplace and no recurrent government funding, we recognise the need to become more self-sufficient and less reliant on third party funding. As such, a Future Sustainability Fund was established in January 2013 for the purpose of future expansion and a long-term goal of funding our operating costs through this investment strategy. Available cash on hand is reviewed every six months, with any surplus cash invested into the fund. Our goal is to invest 10% of our annual income into the fund with the aim of fully supporting recurrent operating costs in the years to come. This will ensure that future funding streams can be more fully directed to service delivery and increase our focus on directly supporting people affected by breast cancer.
A full organisational review in January 2012 saw the introduction of a new three year strategy, designed to build upon our existing strengths whilst also diversifying and investing in long term fundraising streams and sustainability. The strategy also focused on creating the right organisational structure to support the growth of Breast Cancer Care WA and the increasing needs of Western Australian people affected by breast cancer. The work of 2012/2013 has seen the strategy implementation proceed well, with a strong focus on nurturing long term relationships with our stakeholders and ensuring continuous improvement throughout our operations.
The Board and management team recognise that growth in our services can only be achieved by increasing our income streams and creating a sustainable financial strategy to support our future.
Looking ahead, the Board will continue to pursue its strategy to increase income streams to support the growth in the organisation’s service delivery. This will be achieved by a renewed focus on further building our relationships with key corporate partners and supporting greater engagement between our fundraisers and Breast Cancer Care WA. The appointment of a Community Relations Manager has already led to a review of our engagement strategy, with refreshed marketing and business development plans now in place to support continued income growth in 2013/2014.
Breast Cancer Care WA l Annual Report 2012/13 l Page 4
Our two signature fundraising events had an unprecedented year, with Purple Bra Day increasing its revenue by 14% and the Long Table Lunch increasing by 61%. This resulted in a 12% increase in total fundraising revenue from $1.8m in 2011/2012 to $2.0m in 2012/2013. The appointment of an Events Officer in January 2012 has further strengthened our capacity to maximise the fundraising potential of these events and better support our community fundraisers to reach their personal fundraising goals. With limited marketing resources, events enable us to engage the community in various ways, maximising our return on investment and increasing brand awareness. Additional support in the fundraising department will also enable the team to diversify our fundraising streams and build upon programs that previously were not possible due to time constraints. One such area is corporate engagement, which will be a key focus for the 2013/2014 year. Throughout 2012/2013 we maintained a continued focus on increasing brand awareness to support our fundraising objectives and assist clients to find our services earlier. In the year ahead we will establish a new marketing role within the fundraising department to provide strategic management of the Breast Cancer Care WA brand and ensure full integration of the organisation’s events and fundraising initiatives with the brand.
Thank you We would like to recognise the continued support of the many individuals, businesses and community groups who undertook fundraising activities and who supported our events through volunteering or participating. As an independent charity, we would not be in a position to provide the level of personalised care we do, without the support of the WA community, who in conjunction with our own fundraising efforts, enable us to provide all of our services free of charge. We would also like to recognise the efforts of the Breast Cancer Care WA team, who often create magic within a tight budget, ensuring our limited resources are efficiently and effectively expended.

What MakesUs Unique?
Highlights 2012/13
Founded in 2000, Breast Cancer Care WA is a Western Australian charity that provides personalised emotional, practical and financial support to people affected by breast cancer. Breast Cancer Care WA is the only service provider in Western Australia that offers a wide range of complementary breast cancer specific support, outside of the hospital system and at all stages of the disease - even when treatment has finished. This is a time for many when they feel abandoned by their specialists and forever changed by their experiences. Our complete understanding of this process enables us to help rebuild client’s lives and create a ‘new normal’.
In 2012/2013 our support services team consisted of two breast care nurses (1.4 FTE) and
two counsellors (1.5 FTE). Together they supported over 750 clients with 3,371 individual occasions of support,
from home and hospital visits to support over the phone
or in person at our office.
Support was provided not only to those diagnosed with breast cancer, but
also their family and support network. During the year, we
held 81 monthly support groups, provided 68 requests for practical assistance and processed
564 financial assistance claims.
All of our services are free of charge and together, our multi-disciplinary team of specialists work to find the best solutions to the challenges faced by each individual and their families, which can vary greatly and be highly complex. This approach helps promote the best possible outcomes from their treatment by alleviating daily stresses. Our team also works closely with nurses and social workers from public and private hospitals to ensure clients are referred to our services once they leave hospital and no longer have access to a breast care nurse or counselling. We also have established referrals with surgeons, radiation oncologists, cancer care coordinators in country and metropolitan WA, the Breast Cancer Psychology Service, Lymphedema treatment clinic, public breast clinics, Menopause clinic, physiotherapists, Cancer Council, Encore exercise program, prosthesis fitters, Silver Chain, Solaris Care and the Wig Library, as well as for financial counselling. Working with breast cancer clients on a daily basis provides a unique perspective and insight, enabling us to create programs and services designed for the various stages of a breast cancer journey. An example of this is our new therapy groups which commenced in June 2013. This is the only work in the area of fear and uncertainty in Australia and is already showing great benefits to our clients. In addition, our counselling is breast cancer specific, while our support groups are further defined by stages of the disease such as advanced breast cancer, or targeting a specific group such as women under 40 or with small children. Groups are facilitated by a counsellor, trained to deal with the complexities of group work in this field. As clients are often too sick to come to our offices or unable to find child care, our breast care nurses and counsellors provide home visits. They also visit clients in the hospital where a breast care nurse is not employed. For those living in regional WA, clients have access to our online breast care nurse who moderates weekly chat rooms and is also available for private messaging. Our financial assistance program assists clients with expenses not covered by other agencies and we also provide one off grants for clients experiencing significant but short term financial difficulty.

“My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over two years ago. Our children were aged four and one at the time. The additional strain this added to the already daunting task of raising kids defies description. Everyone who’s been impacted by this all-toocommon disease will have their own story, but one aspect remains the same - it’s almost impossible to cope on your own. The services provided by Breast Cancer Care WA are crucial in supporting people through their cancer journey and helping to speed up the healing process.” Brett
A Financial Assistance Officer was appointed in March 2013 to enable our breast care nurses to focus more fully on service provision.
This enabled them to increase the number of follow up calls by 13% in just four months. They were also able to better support clients with metastatic disease who have specific needs but limited support available to them.
With few services available in the Mandurah/ Rockingham area, we also established a support group in Mandurah in May 2012. In addition, a counsellor provided one on one counselling to people in the region for two days each month. In addition to the Mandurah support group, an after-hours group was established and therapy groups were developed ready for commencement in early 2013/2014.

Our services
Emotional, practical and financial support Our core support services can be divided into three categories - emotional support, practical support and financial support.
Emotional support Specialist Breast Care Nurses:
Breast Cancer Care WA also places importance on the following:
Our experienced breast care nurses play a vital role in providing emotional support and information throughout the breast cancer journey and help women interpret their test results, make informed decisions about their treatment and what lifestyle modifications they could make to decrease and manage the disruption to their lives.
We provide understanding in a supportive and caring environment.
We help people overcome
• Inclusivity: We honour the differences
• Integrity:
of individuals, families and communities.
adversity through care, education and advocacy.
We are open, honest and
• Ensuring our services are consumer driven and tailored to meet the needs of the individual. • Responding appropriately to those needs in a timely manner. Support is provided in person, over the phone and by email as well as home and hospital visits within the metropolitan area. Our breast care nurses are also providing support services to address specific needs not catered for by other organisations. This includes providing one on one support for clients with metastatic disease and a dedicated support group. Whilst these clients make up a small portion of our client base, they do have significant emotional and physical needs with very limited services outside of Breast Cancer Care WA available to them. These tailored services are essential for clients who have no other alternative means of accessing the support they require.
• Teamwork:
We work with passion in a spirit of respect, cooperation and trust.
Therapeutic Groups:
The significant demand for our counselling services has seen plans established to source funding to appoint a third counsellor in 2013/2014.
Support Groups:
Peer Support:
Our monthly support groups are facilitated by our counsellors and a peer supporter. Each group is different and designed to meet the specific needs of the collective. There are several groups for women with early breast cancer, plus groups for young women, women with advanced breast cancer and young women with advanced breast cancer.
Peer support is closely linked to our support groups. The program matches women who have recently been diagnosed with women who are 12 months or more post diagnosis who can offer empathy and support having been in a similar situation. The program also supports men with breast cancer or men supporting partners with breast cancer.
The role of the counselling staff is to support the peer facilitators and diffuse any issues or identify when a client would benefit more from one on one counselling. They also help ease and support new members into the group and follow up clients who have significant needs.
Counselling: Our counselling service is accessed by clients and their loved ones when they feel that they need additional emotional support and coping strategies. We provide one on one counselling, couple counselling and family therapy throughout the metropolitan area and via telephone to regional clients.
The Mandurah group is well attended each month, so much so that a larger venue will need to be sourced to accommodate the numbers. We are also considering breaking the group into two in order to create a new group in Rockingham; however additional counselling staff would be required to facilitate this.
Breast Cancer Care WA l Annual Report 2012/13 l Page 8
improve quality of life.
In June 2013 we commenced the first of our therapy groups around fear and uncertainty. Therapy groups are different to support groups in that they are run weekly for 4-6 weeks and are much more structured. This allows women to undergo intense therapy in a group situation and gain from the experience of the counsellors as well as from other members of the group. This also allows us to work with a greater number of women in a more cost effective way.
In 2012/2013 our groups increased from 62 to 81 with the commencement of the Mandurah and after-hours group in West Perth. We also provide groups in Heathridge, Melville, Southern River, Leederville and Midland.
Various issues are addressed including fear, anxiety, acceptance, self-esteem and body-image, stress management, sexuality and intimacy, secondary or metastatic disease, fertility, end of life issues, the impact of diagnosis on the family, communication and supporting bereaved family members.
• Innovation: We create unique services to
ethical in all/everything we do.
Counselling services were expanded into the Mandurah/ Rockingham area during the year. Initially counselling was offered one day per month, but quickly increased to two to three days per month. With limitations on our resources, a support group was established for these clients so they would have peer support in between visits from our counsellor.
• Listening to our service users.
• Collaboration between agencies so as not to duplicate services.
Support Services Values • Comfort: • Empowerment:
Practical Support The Practical Assistance Program supports women with basic living needs following surgery and during treatment including transport to and from appointments, help with looking after children, shopping, cleaning and gardening. This support is predominantly provided by our volunteers who receive specialised training.
Pamper Days: Undergoing treatment for breast cancer can have a significant impact on the way a person looks and feels. Pamper Days offer an experience for the whole body and soul to promote feelings of relaxation, rejuvenation and wellbeing away from the rigors of treatment. Attendees are treated to a range of pampering services including hair/wig styling, skin care, beauty treatments and make-up artistry, plus gourmet food, a new outfit and the end result captured with a professional portrait photograph.

Our services
Cancer Wellness Centre
The Cancer Wellness Centre will ensure that people with cancer in WA have access to a world class facility dedicated to providing excellence in cancer support, healing, learning and cancer prevention. Information: Each year our services team responds to thousands of telephone calls requesting general information about breast cancer and also provide useful resources via our comprehensive website.
Online Support: Breast Cancer Click is an online community that offers peer support between members and access to group chat sessions moderated by a breast care nurse. ‘The Click’ is especially useful to those living in remote regions of WA who don’t have access to a breast care nurse, as well as those too unwell to travel to support groups but needing to connect with others. Family and friends are also welcome to join and learn more about how to support their loved ones. Breast Cancer Click, has reached over 7,500 people across Australia, with more than 170,000 page views since April 2011.
Financial Support: A diagnosis of breast cancer can have a serious financial impact. Our program assists those in financial crisis with medical gaps, travel and accommodation expenses for those travelling to Perth for treatment, general household bills, rent or mortgage assistance and even fuel and food. We also collaborate with the Cancer Council to help access financial assistance for cleaning and utility bills, alleviating the client’s need to go to several different agencies. Due to rising cost of living expenses, 2012/2013 saw an increase in the number of clients experiencing financial hardship. As a result, the budget for financial support has been increased by 12% for 2013/2014. A total of 564 applications for financial assistance were processed during 2012/2013, reflecting an increase in the number of clients experiencing significant but short term financial difficulty. Additional funding was sourced for these clients to the value of $37,000.
Services outlook for 2013-14 With significant growth in our services over the past two years, 2012/2013 was a year of consolidation to support the securing of funds for further expansion in 2013/2014. Demand for our services is expected to continue to grow, requiring a strong concentration of building our service delivery to reach more people. A third breast cancer nurse has already been appointed to meet the growing demand of our client base and our fundraising department are currently working on securing funding to increase our counselling staff from two to three. In addition to one on one work with clients, these extra staff will provide the capacity to establish additional support groups, provide more support to the Mandurah/Rockingham areas and commit to a 12 month program of therapy groups.
CEO’s from the Cancer Wellness Centre member organisations include: Clinton Heal melanomaWA; Donna Rendell Breast Cancer Care WA; Mandy BeckerKnox Cancer Support WA; Ross Taylor Brady Cancer Support Foundation
Breast Cancer Care WA will be relocating to the new Cancer Wellness Centre in Cottesloe in July 2014. Having outgrown our current premises, we are looking forward to welcoming clients and supporters to our new home.
The Cancer Wellness Centres core objective is to leverage the collaboration in order to: • Be a unique and effective provider of excellence in the field of cancer support, healing, education, self-help and prevention to those who have been touched by cancer;
Managed by the National Trust, the heritage listed site is currently under development through a $7.5 million building grant from Lotterywest. The project includes extensive refurbishment of the 108 year old Wanslea House and surrounding buildings to create a purpose built facility and landscaping improvements.
• Achieve better economies of scale;
The Cancer Wellness Centre will ensure that people with cancer in WA have access to a world class facility dedicated to providing excellence in cancer support, healing, learning and cancer prevention. Leading the way in collaboration amongst cancer support organisations, the site will be occupied by Breast Cancer Care WA, Cancer Support WA, melanomaWA and the Brady Cancer Support Foundation.
As we plan for our move into the Cancer Wellness Centre, our aim will be to further market our existing services to health professionals and the wider community. We aim to increase direct referrals from health providers to 10% in 2013/2014, up from 5% this year. This will reduce the time between when someone is diagnosed and when they access our services.
Having complementing cancer support organisations within a shared campus structure will enable joint learning, resources, economies of scale and the ability to attract collaborative funding. Each organisation is represented on the Cancer Wellness Centre Board with the day to day operations of the campus managed by a newly appointed Executive Officer.
These initiatives will seek to ensure our clients find out about us sooner and are provided the right support as they go through their breast cancer journey.
The Cancer Wellness Centre aims to facilitate the sharing of ideas, programs and resources and to assist Cancer Wellness Centre members with governance and management structures to ensure long-term sustainability.

• Use the Cancer Wellness Centre to strengthen relationships and form new partnerships; • Undertake fundraising activities to generate funds for the fulfilment of the objectives of all Cancer Wellness Centre members; and • Raise awareness of cancer and the various support services available to Western Australians at the Cancer Wellness Centre. We anticipate the Cancer Wellness Centre will have a very positive impact on Breast Cancer Care WA, assisting us to strengthen our brand, reach more people and reinforce our credibility within the community. It will also offer a more tranquil and nurturing environment for those needing our support. Through joining the Cancer Wellness Centre, Breast Cancer Care WA aims to achieve the following outcomes for the benefit of the organisation: • Enhance the services provided to people with cancer, their families and the community. • Strengthen public awareness and credibility. • Extend services to regional areas of WA to reach more patients. • Reduce administrative and overhead costs to assist in the long-term sustainability of the organisation. Our gratitude goes to Lotterywest, National Trust and the Brady Cancer Support Foundation for investing in the vision of this unique project that will support the countless Western Australians affected by cancer.

Our funding
5% In line with our three year plan, income was generated from various fundraising programs, events, individual donations, corporate partnerships and grants in 2012/2013.
Corporate Partnerships and Sponsorships Sponsorships currently contribute 12% of our total revenue, facilitating the employment of our support services staff, funding our programs and covering operational costs. Sponsorships of this nature are invaluable to the organisation, as they provide the capacity to establish dedicated programs or hire key personnel to help reach more people in need of assistance.

The corporate organisations and Foundations listed above have been long term partners and we appreciate their ongoing support.
Events Events are the cornerstone of our fundraising, accounting for 64% of our total income. This is primarily achieved through our annual signature events, the Long Table Lunch and Purple Bra Day, as well as events run by our supporters such as the annual Adultshop.com Boobalicious Ball.
Fundraising programs Breast Cancer Care WA maintains a combination of long-term programs to increase income through programs that focus on growth, efficiency, return on investment and sustainability. These initiatives include direct mail campaigns, bequests, work place and matched giving, gifts in lieu and memorial donations, monthly giving and major gifts.
“Breast Cancer Care WA has made such an enormous difference to the lives of so many people and in doing so empowered many younger women to take control of not only their illness, but also their lives with the aim of living better. This outstanding group of people deserves all the gratitude we have for their incredible role they play in our community.” Ross
General donations General donations are lower than in previous years at only 5% of our total income. An increased number of natural disasters and a more challenging economic climate were the primary causes for this trend. As general donations will consistently be affected by external factors, it is difficult to accurately predict expected income of this nature over time. While this is an issue affecting the not-for-profit sector as a whole, Breast Cancer Care WA is taking proactive steps to address this uncertainty and build a more self-sufficient funding model. To achieve this, the Board engaged JBWere to manage a portfolio of investments, with the long-term goal of funding our operating costs through our Future Sustainability Fund. Interest generated by our investments totalled 3% of our total income and should grow year on year
These programs generated 14% of our total income in 2012/2013, but have the potential to increase substantially in the future.
In-Kind Support In addition to financial support, partnerships with local businesses willing to provide goods and services in-kind are also crucial to our operations as they dramatically reduce our expenses. This is especially true for our fundraising events. Our supporters once again showed great loyalty and generosity in 2012/2013. Volunteers also provide their time and support which is essential for realising the organisation’s vision. Over 3,000 hours were donated to various events and administration support, saving the organisation over $90,000. In communicating with the public, we also rely heavily on the pro bono support of various media outlets to help people with breast cancer find us sooner and to support our fundraising activities. The value of in-kind support cannot be underestimated and we take great pride in managing these relationships in line with our
Breast Cancer Care WA l Annual Report 2012/13 l Page 12
values. In 2012/2013 over $450,000 in goods and services were donated to the organisation in the form of marketing support, beverages, equipment and services, prizes and IT support. The generosity of these businesses to provide their goods and services pro bono ensures our limited funds can be allocated to where they are really needed, rather than on operational requirements.
Where the money goes Our capacity to provide services to the WA community is reliant on the success of our fundraising. Income generated each year is invested in continuing our services and general operations. Annually, our largest expense is the cost of employing staff. As an organisation that provides specialist services and raises its own funds, our staff are our number one asset. Having the right people to support those affected by breast cancer is essential to ensuring Breast Cancer Care WA can make a real difference through its operations. The Board and Management team are committed to ensuring as many funds as possible are directed to service provision, with a strong focus on minimising administrative and fundraising costs. During 2012/2013, every dollar spent on fundraising generated $2.89, a return on investment of 189%. This result has ensured a significant investment in service provision, whilst also maintaining the highest standards of accountability and transparency in our administrative structures.
Support Services In 2012/2013, 42% of our expenses were allocated to our support services. This includes employment of specialist staff, various programs and financial assistance. In October 2012 a grant was sourced to employ a Financial Assistance Officer. This key position ensured our existing breast care nurses were able to focus more fully on service provision by reducing their administrative duties. This extra capacity also

Breast Cancer Care WA respects the decision of its donors to choose to donate to our organisation and will always treat each donor and their donation with respect and careful consideration. This will be achieved by:
Expenses Breakdown
• Integrity: treating all donors and fundraisers with respect and responding to their enquiries in a professional manner, demonstrating transparent procedures and handling of all funds received.

provided the fundraising team additional time to source the required funding to increase our breast care nurses from two to three by July 2013 and a third counsellor by September 2014.
• Personalised: taking the time to understand our donors, recognising their contributions and preparing relevant and meaningful correspondence and communications.
Fundraising outlook for 2013-2014 In 2013/2014, we aim to build on the generous support of our corporate partners to secure ongoing funding for the two new support services roles. We have also identified the need for more services in the Mandurah/Rockingham area and into the south west. This expansion of services would require additional people and financial resources. Our current three year plan is focused on confirming the longterm sustainability of our existing roles, with the expansion into the south west a stretch target once this is achieved.
Our investment into back office staff will see our fundraising team relieved of various administration tasks, allowing them to focus solely on income generation. This will ensure a greater emphasis on increasing our return on investment, with more time to evaluate and improve our existing fundraising activities whilst also developing new opportunities.
Two new support groups were also established, while our new therapy groups commenced following financial year end.
Fundraising Our investment in fundraising received a significant boost with the recruitment of a senior fundraiser and an events coordinator. The appointment of these key positions has seen an increase in our direct mail income and ensured greater capacity to manage fundraising events going forward. With these positions now established, the Board and management team has set new growth targets across its programs to maximise the benefits of these additional resources.

Principal Activities The principal activities of Breast Cancer Care WA in the course of the financial year consisted of providing personalised emotional, practical and financial support and care to people affected by breast cancer and educating the community to increase awareness and early detection of breast cancer.
Support Groups: We currently facilitate 10 monthly support groups throughout the metropolitan area, including Mandurah. Studies have identified physical and emotional benefits for those attending support groups hence our investment in establishing new groups. Therapy groups: In 2013 we piloted our first therapy group and with a third counsellor will be in a position to offer these more regularly. Running weekly for 6 weeks, clients undergo intense therapy in a group situation and gain from the experience of the counsellors as well as from other members of the group. As with support groups, studies have identified many positive outcomes for attendees.
Practical support Practical Assistance: Following surgery and during treatment, we provide help with basic living needs including; transport to and from appointments, help with looking after children, shopping, cleaning and gardening. This is provided predominantly by our volunteers. Information and Referrals: We operate as an information service and also provide referrals to other agencies for financial counselling, wigs, prosthesis and lymphedema treatment etc.
Financial Support
WEST PERTH WA 6005
Support services are tailored to a broad range of specific client needs; however our core services are best defined through three categories being; emotional, practical and financial support.
A diagnosis of breast cancer can have a serious financial impact, especially if a woman is unable to work during treatment and her family is reliant on two incomes. Each year we process over 500 financial assistance requests.

Emotional support
Education Programs
Specialist Breast Care Nurses: Breast care nurses play a vital role in providing emotional support and information at various phases across the continuum of care including diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, follow-up and palliative care.
Currently, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Early detection can dramatically affect their prognosis, therefore our education initiatives seek to teach women of all ages to be breast aware and develop good breast health habits.

Indigenous Support and Education Breast cancer is the most common cancer experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, with 1 in 15 expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. Research shows that Indigenous women have a significantly lower survival rate compared with non-Indigenous women. Our Indigenous program seeks to educate the community about the importance of being breast aware and provide support services to those diagnosed.

Results From Operations
Strategic Horizon
Operations Review
We continue to endeavour to meet and surpass our goals in providing support services for all Western Australians whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.
A surplus of $313,579 (2012 $322,400) was made during the course of 2013 compared to the budgeted deficit of $238,795. This was primarily due to greater than budgeted returns from fundraising activities. Our total revenue to 30 June 2013 is attributable to the following sources:
Further, the higher than forecast surplus has strengthened our ability to invest a portion of income into a sustainability fund that in time will assist with administration costs of the entity, so that a greater proportion of our fundraising revenue can be directed to our service provision.

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013 1. Corporate Information
The financial statements of the not-for-profit company, Breast Cancer Care WA Inc for the year ended 30 June 2013 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on October 23, 2013.
Significant accounting judgements
The entity has entered into leases of premises and office equipment as disclosed in Note 12. Management has determined that all of the risks and rewards of ownership of these premises and equipment remain with the lessor and has therefore classified the leases as operating leases.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act [WA], Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Standards Board and Urgent Issues Group Interpretations. The directors have determined that Breast Cancer Care WA Inc is permitted to apply the Tier 2 reporting requirements (Australia Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements) as set out in AASB 1053 Application of tiers of Australian Accounting Standards because it is a not-for-profit private sector entity that does not have public accountability. The authorisation for the issue of these accounts is in accordance with a resolution of the directors on October 23, 2013.
AASB 13 Fair Value measurement
The effective date of AASB 13 is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. AASB clarifies the definition of fair value and requires highest and best use to be used in determining the value of non-financial assets.
Make good provisions
Provisions for future costs to return certain leased premises to their original condition are based on the entities past experience with similar premises and estimates of likely restoration costs determined by the entity’s property manager. These estimates may vary from the actual costs incurred as a result of conditions existing at the date the premises are vacated.
Provisions for employee benefits
Provisions for employee benefits payable after 12 months from the reporting date are based on future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, as discussed in Note 2(m).
The amount of these provisions would change should any of these factors change in the next 12 months.
(c) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Breast Cancer Care WA and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Historical Cost Accounting.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.
(i)
Functional Currency.
The financial report is presented in Breast Cancer Care WA Inc.’s functional currency which is the Australian dollar.
Donations and sponsorships are recognised on a receipts basis when the amount can be measured reliably.
(ii)
(b) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of
transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.
the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Breast Cancer Care WA Inc. is an incorporated association operating exclusively in Australia. The nature of the entity’s operations and principal activities are described in the director’s report.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For the year ended 30 June 2013
(d) Grants
(iii) Investment income
Investment income comprises interest and dividends and trust distributions. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Dividends and distributions from entities are recognised when the right to receive the income has been established.
(iv) Sale of Goods
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the
Breast Cancer Care WA l Annual Report 2012/13 l Page 28
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular category they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions by donation and do not include costs of disseminating information relating to the activities carried on by the entity.
Service costs are those costs directly incurred in supporting the objects of the entity.
Administration costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the entity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Plant and equipment 3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements 5 - 10 years
Motor Vehicles 5 years
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand, and short term deposits with an original maturity of six months or less.
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(g) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence Breast Cancer Care WA will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
(j) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale assets are those financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale. When available-forsale financial investments are recognised initially, there are measured at fair value. Any available-for-sale financial investments donated to the company are recognised at fair value at the date of company obtains control of the asset.
After initial recognition available-for-sale financial investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, being either a significant or prolonged declined in value below cost, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing mode.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are required to be valued at the lower of cost and current replacement cost. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Current replacement cost is the cost that would be incurred to acquire the inventories at reporting date. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
Impairment
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Rendering of services
(e) Expenditure
Donations and sponsorships
Revenue from services is recognised when the control of a right to be compensated for the services has been attained. This occurs upon provision of the agreed service. All revenues received prior to date of service are recognised as a liability for advanced bookings.
Sponsorships and grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs it is intended to compensate.
(i) Plant and Equipment
Breast Cancer Care WA l Annual Report 2012/13 l Page 29
Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013 (k) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
(o) Leases
Breast Cancer Care follows the guidance of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to determine when an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost. Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to Breast Cancer Care WA prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when Breast Cancer Care WA becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when Breast Cancer Care WA has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When Breast Cancer Care WA expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(i)
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method.

3. Revenue (a) Fundraising Income: Donations
Leases where the lessee has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value, or present value, of the leased property. The finance cost is charged to the statement of comprehensive income at a constant rate over the lease period, and the property is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s lease term or its useful life.
