Pauline is one of our incredible clients and Consumer Network members. 💓

When we sat down to ask her what she screens for she didn't hesitate, she says "I screen because you've got to take care of yourself first. It's like putting the oxygen mask on when flying."

Her message is simple yet powerful, prioritsing your health means you can keep showing up for the people you love. 🫶

Pictured here is April Atkinson, one of the talented artists whose artwork is featured on a Beautiful Shawl, as part of the Beautiful Shawl Project.

April's art is called Yorta Itjumatj Bayi, which means Healthy Breast in the Yorta Yorta language - this powerful artwork celebrates women's strength, resilience, and healing. 💗

When creating this artwork, April was inspired by the women in her life who have faced mastitis, abscesses and breast cancer. April says "those women have proven to me that new beginnings do grow."

For International Day for People with Disability we want to acknowledge the more than 13,000 Victorians living with disability that have screened with us in the past 12 months.

It is for them and all people with disability in our community that are not breast screening that we continue to implement our Disability Action Plan.

In 2025, we have:
⭐Trialed a Sensory clinic for neurodivergent clients.
⭐Established a Disability Consumer Advisory Group that includes clients with lived experience.
⭐Added a new question in the booking process to gather more information on conditions or injuries to better support our clients.
⭐Promoted our program at VALID’s ‘Having a Say Conference’.

And there’s much more to come!

About BreastScreen Victoria

BreastScreen Victoria aims to reduce the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis ensuring you have the best health outcome through early detection. We aim to provide free mammograms to 70% of women aged 50−74 every two years, as they are the group most at risk of developing the disease. However, all eligible Victorians 40+ are eligible to attend.

BreastScreen Victoria is made up three components:


  • BreastScreen coordination unit (BCU). The BCU is responsible for administering the funding for screening, reading and assessment services. It is also the central hub for all information, appointment services, communications, recruitment, MSS coordination, and monitoring service levels to implement quality improvements.

  • Screening service providers. With 42 permanent screening clinics across Victoria, and 25 sites that are visited every two years by the mobile screening service (MSS), we strive for equality of access for all eligible Victorians.
