A MESSAGE FROM THE BCAL LEADERSHIP TEAM
Jayne Shaw, Executive Chair; John Hurrell, Non-Executive Director; and Shane Ryan, CEO
Dear Shareholders,
As the holiday season draws near, we are filled with pride and gratitude as we reflect on an extraordinary year for BCAL — a year that has brought us closer than ever to revolutionising women’s health. Together, we are transforming 14 years of dedicated research into real-world impact, a milestone worth celebrating.
Our purpose at BCAL has always been clear: to improve the lives of women through innovative, patient-centric healthcare solutions. This year, that purpose has been brought into sharp focus as we've navigated the complexities of clinical development and regulatory approvals, culminating in the upcoming soft launch of our BREASTEST® in Q1CY2025. We are on the verge of something remarkable, and we cannot wait for what lies ahead for our company in 2025.
Our momentum is a testament to the collective efforts of our team, partners, and shareholders. To our advocacy partners, So Brave and the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation, thank you for your unwavering support. To the doctors and women who participated in our clinical studies, your contributions have been invaluable. To you, our shareholders, we extend our deepest gratitude. And to the BCAL team and Board, your dedication and guidance are the driving force behind this success.
As we close this transformative year, we want to wish you and your families a joyful and restful holiday season. May it be filled with warmth, happiness, and the excitement of new possibilities. Thank you for being part of the BCAL family — we look forward to sharing more milestones with you in 2025.
Warmest holiday wishes,
Shane Ryan, CEO, and Jayne Shaw, Executive Chair
on behalf of the BCAL Diagnostics Leadership Team
A Summary of 2024
This has been a big year for BCAL Diagnostics, our biggest one yet! We've made incredible progress – both commercially and clinically – laying the groundwork for the highly anticipated launch of BREASTEST® in Q1CY2025.
Here's a look back at the key milestones that have defined our journey in 2024:
New additions to our management team and board brought sharper focus on our commercialization journey: Shane Ryan transitioned from COO to become the new CEO, with Dr John Hurrell moving from CEO to board member and consultant. David Darling also joined the board, both David and John have extensive experience supporting companies in similar stages to ours.
Raised over $10 million dollars: we were ecstatic to see the support of new and existing shareholders to our oversubscribed capital raise in June. The funds we raised have helped us support our product development and expansion to the US.
Accelerated our clinical collaborations across NSW and Victoria: we’ve extended our clinician network within the two states, with the goal of laying the foundation for the seamless roll out of our technology.
Scientific progress: we’ve made significant progress of BREASTEST® and it is almost ready to take to market.
US Operations: In September, we began our US operations by acquiring a lab, building a team and bringing clinical sites on board to collect local samples for our US study.
First commercial partnership signed: we have entered into a partnership with Sydney Breast Clinic to be the first site to offer our BREASTEST® adjunct to mammogram.
NATA Accreditation: After months of meticulous and lots of hard work from the entire team, we have received NATA accreditation for our North Ryde lab, a fantastic milestone towards commercialisation.
In the last two months…
NATA Accreditation
BCAL received NATA accreditation on 12 December 2024, a formal acknowledgement of the quality and reliability of our lab, ensuring that it meets the highest accuracy standards.
Awarded for the laboratory’s quality systems, the accreditation instils confidence in healthcare providers and patients, guaranteeing that our test delivers reliable results.
Soft Launch of BREASTEST® at Sydney Breast Clinic
The Sydney Breast Clinic will be the first location to offer our BREASTEST®
alongside their mammograms.
This partnership brings us closer to making accessible, accurate screening a reality.
The Sydney Breast Clinic is one of Australia's foremost multi-disciplinary breast screening clinics, and their experienced team will work closely with us to ensure seamless integration of the test into their service offerings, providing doctors and patients with additional information for breast health management.
