Ms Sue Murray, CEO National Breast Cancer Foundation

After beginning her career in education Sue moved across to the community sector to work for the NSW Cancer Council where she held roles in education, media and communications. She then moved to the role of Executive Director with the AMA (NSW) Charitable Foundation and developed a CD ROM to support school drug education programs while simultaneously working with the Leukaemia Foundation of Australia to facilitate the formation of the State organisation. Sue took up her current position with the National Breast Cancer Foundation in April 2000.

As the CEO Sue has responsibility for developing and implementing strategy to increase participation in, and support for, breast cancer research throughout Australia. Most recently the NBCF has launched the first-ever National Action Plan for breast cancer research which aims to change the way breast cancer research is planned, performed and monitored in Australia.

The National Plan requires $100 million in funding and integral to its success is a well informed and passionate team who are committed to seeing its successful implementation.
