Women in rural and remote Australia should have access to breast cancer treatment and care at an equivalent standard of care
as those available to urban residents. Yet, there is currently reduced access to specialist support pathways in rural and remote
settings. These guidelines provide no clear suggestions as to how they can be adapted to settings where workforce and
infrastructure is limited. Women living in or near large regional centres may be able to receive the level of care detailed in the
guidelines, but not those living in more remote locations.
