How does breast screening work?
BreastScreen is the national breast screening program and actively invites women aged 50-74 to have a free two yearly mammogram. Women aged 40-49 and over 75 are also eligible to receive a free mammogram but do not receive an invitation. They are encouraged to speak with their doctors first.
To make an appointment at one of more than 250 BreastScreen NSW clinics, call 13 20 50 or visit BreastScreen.
