Frequently asked questions

As part of our commitment to providing a more streamlined and easier to navigate experience, we're creating an improved account that moves BCNA's tools into one place.

We understand that this change might bring some questions, and we’re here to help. Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about the transition, including how to access your account, information about the new account, and how to get additional support.

If you have any additional questions, our Helpline team is ready to assist you on

Why am I having trouble logging in and posting to the Online Network? 

From 5pm Wednesday 19 March to Thursday 27 March 2025 the Online Network will be paused while we switch over to the new platform, during this time the Online Network will be READ ONLY for existing members.

While you can still read public posts and comments, you will not be able to sign in, view private group content, start a new post, send messages, join groups, register, react to a post or make new comments. During this time you will receive an error message if you attempt to login. You will be able to login again after Thursday 27 March 2025.

We do apologise for this disruption, we know it is inconvenient.  

New members wanting to join will need to wait until the new platform goes live on the 27th of March.

If you are having difficulty during the pause, we have provided some resources to help support you. You can also call the Helpline on 1800 500 258 from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm AEST.

Why does BCNA have a new My Journey and Online Network? 

In 2023, Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) Member Survey highlighted a significant opportunity to improve member experience with our information resources and support services. The survey, identified the following:  

• multiple, inconsistent interfaces  
• two separate logins  
• less-than-optimal mobile experience  
• information overload due to minimal personalisation   
• inability to search all information from one place  
• content appearing in multiple areas.   

The enhanced experience will make it easier for members to navigate and engage with resources, reducing effort and improving accessibility by moving everything into one account. The new version will ensure members can explore, understand, and make full use of the breadth of what is available through BCNA.   

How does the new My Journey and Online Network help me? 

The new My Journey includes the benefits of the previous My Journey and Online Network experience, simply integrated into one place with a more streamlined and easier to navigate user experience. It now   offers easier access to our library of tailored content – from podcasts and webinars to articles – behind one login on your smartphone, tablet, and computer.  

 As always, the Online Network will allow you to connect with others going through a similar experience, with improvements to the format. 

Will this change impact my account, posts, images, and other data within the Online Network? 

We will be moving over the following: 

• your username and profile picture 
• your account details including email, “My Story” and location 
• your posts and comments 
• your previous likes 
• your private groups. 

You should not see any changes to the information listed above. 

If you have any concerns or queries about your data, please contact our Helpline on 1800 500 258. 

Where can I locate the new My Journey and Online Network?

You can locate the new My Journey and Online Network in the one place on the website. Multiple logins can be frustrating, so we have evolved our digital experience to beone centralised platform with a single sign-on. You no longer need to remember a password every time you log in because you will be emailed a One Time Password (OTP).

Please read the next FAQ for more on that. 

A step-by-step process will be available closer to the go-live date.

Has the login process changed?  

Yes. When you log in to My Journey and the Online Network now, you will be sent an email with a numerical code in it. This is called a One Time Password (OTP), which is a secure and unique code that allows you to login into your My Journey account just once. After you have entered the code into the box displayed on your screen, then you will have access. 

You will be asked to do this every time you log in. You will be emailed a new OTP each time you log in. You can then enter the unique code password within 60 minutes to log in safely and securely. 

We have multiple users on one email address, what will happen to our account?

We encourage all healthcare professionals to sign up with a unique or personal email address so that the benefits of the new platform can be realised.  

If you are a healthcare professional with multiple clinicians in one practice under one generic email, or if you have signed up multiple patients under your clinic email, your account will by default move to the new system under one general business or organisation name rather than dedicated to a single user.
