Ms Doyle passed away on the 1st April this year.
Coordinator Judith Hutchesson said Ms Doyle was a "beautiful person".
"Monica was well loved and highly respected by all, she will be very much missed not only as a co-leader but also active part of our group."
Ms Hutchesson said the coordinator must complete a short workshop with the Cancer Council Leadership team in Sydney.
They are looking for "ideally a lady who has had breast cancer or someone who has been involved with leadership of other organisations or in the health care network."
Ms Hutchesson said the support groups provides an invaluable service.
"It offers a private area where women can feel comfortable to talk about their diagnosis.
"When you are diagnosed with breast cancer it has a very personal impact on your life so they know they are not alone and have someone to talk to."
Ms Hutchesson was diagnosed with breast cancer 17 years ago.
"I was horrified.
"I cried buckets of tears."
Anyone who is interested in applying for the position of coordinator should contact Judith Hutchesson for further details. Phone 6585 5394.
