Breast Screening
-
BreastScreen Australia is the national breast cancer screening program.
-
Every state and territory operates a BreastScreen Australia service, and invites women aged between 50 and 74 years to have a mammogram every 2 years.
-
You can still have a free mammogram if you’re aged between 40 and 49 years, or 75 years and over – you just won’t receive an invitation in the mail.
-
Screening mammograms are used to find breast cancers early, before they can be seen or felt. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances of surviving it.
