Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian women. 9 out of 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of breast cancer. Breast screening can find breast cancer early and means there are more treatment options.
BreastScreen provides free breast screening to women who are 40 and over, and haven't noticed any changes to their breasts. Breast screening is most effective for women aged 50 to 74.
There are 11 mobile breast screening vans that travel to rural areas on a regular basis. The dates and locations for the mobile screening vans change regularly. To find a location near you - Find a location | BreastScreen Queensland
