This week we acknowledged Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) with an all staff get together with morning tea, plus we enjoyed activities to reflect on our core values that guide our program. 💗
BCAM is an opportunity to raise awareness about prevention and early detection. It is also a great reminder to prioritise our health, and have conversations with those around us to do the same.

Breast Cancer Awareness month is here!
This month is about highlighting the importance of breast health and early detection. Finding breast cancer early can lead to earlier treatment and better health outcomes, giving more women the chance to live healthier, fuller lives.
In the 2024-2025 financial year we screened close to 300,000 Victorian women, which is a record 9,000 screens more than the previous year. However, we can do better than that! 🤩
If you are a woman, or trans and gender diverse aged between 50 to 74 without breast symptoms call 13 20 50 or click the link below to book today.

What age can you start breast screening?
Read on to find out more! 👉
If you're under 40 you cannot screen with us this is because your breast tissue is typically denser, making it more difficult to detect cancers.
If you're aged 50 - 74, you will be invited to screen with us as women in this age group are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
If you are aged 40-49 or over 74, you can screen with us, however we won't send you an invitation. We recommend speaking to a doctor to find out if breast screening is the best option for you.
If you have any questions or to book call us on 13 20 50 or click the link below.

Today is R U OK? Day - a reminder of the importance of checking in on those around us by asking a simple, yet powerful question. 💛
Mental health can impact our everyday life, so today is about encouraging meaningful conversations and support – not just today, but all year round.
Today we wore a splash of yellow and shared meaningful conversations over morning tea. Together, we are trying to make R U OK DAY? a part of our everyday life. 💛

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.
Reading and assessment services. BreastScreen Victoria engages with eight reading and assessment centres across the Victoria. These services read images from multiple sites, including the MSS, and also provide all clinical services from the initial breast screen to any further procedures required to the point of diagnosis.
BreastScreen Victoria is a fully accredited part of BreastScreen Australia, and is jointly funded by the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments.
