Default Supporting Tomato trusses

My tomatoes have a lot of young fruit on the trusses & would like some tips
on how to keep them from pulling the whole plant apart.
I supported the plants last year by staking & tying them up with pantihose,
but the heavy trusses ended up pulling the plants down & actually broke off
when they got too heavy, resulting in a lot of heartache.
BTW, the plants are otherwise healthy, fully fertilised & grown in full sun
with some shadecloth when it gest too hot later in the season & I live in
Sydney.
Thanks in advance for any tips
