One in seven women in NSW will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The earlier a cancer is detected, the greater the likelihood of successful treatment.
The BreastScreen NSW program recommends women aged 50 to 74 have a free mammogram every two years.
BreastScreen NSW is taking all necessary measures in relation to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), to protect women, staff and the wider community. This includes:
- Pre-screening questions around personal health and travel
- Limiting the number of people in the clinic/van
- Practicing social distancing and providing hand sanitizer in waiting rooms
- A minimal contact check-in process
- Additional cleaning of equipment and commonly used surfaces.
A GP referral is not necessary; appointments take only 20 minutes. The BreastScreen program on the North Coast also offers free screening appointments all year round at its fixed sites located at Tweed Heads and Lismore.
