Put your health first and add ‘book my mammogram’ to your to-do list. 💗

1 in 7 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better your chance of surviving it.

We support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and encourage women aged 40+ to book their free 2-yearly screening appointment by calling 📞 13 20 50.

It's a good time to prepare for the 'WHAT IFs' and make an emergency plan that could help to protect you and your loved ones. But don't forget - your mental health is important too! Talking to friends and family can help, but sometimes you might need additional support. 💬

If you or someone you know is in need of support, you can call Medicare Mental Health on 📞 1800 595 212 (Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 5:00pm) and a trained mental health professional in our region will talk to you about how you're feeling and refer you to appropriate local services.
