Are you eligible for our free breast screening service?
Breast screening is the most effective test to find breast cancer early, reducing breast cancer deaths and the impact of treatment among women aged 50 to 74.
We invite women in this age group to have a breast screen every 2 years. Although our service is also available to women aged 40 to 49 and over 74 years, we recommend those in this age group to speak to a doctor to see if breast screening is the right option for you based on overall personal risk for breast cancer.
Our service is for women with no breast symptoms. If you have any unusual symptoms or if you notice that the look and feel of your breast has changed, see your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor may then request a diagnostic mammogram to look at your specific symptoms.
For appointments, please call 13 20 50 or book online at My BreastScreen. For more information, please visit About Our Program | BreastScreen Victoria
