1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. However, finding breast cancer early improves survival. A breast screening mammogram can detect cancers before they can be felt or noticed.
It is important that women over the age of 50 have a mammogram every 2 years. 
Please call 13 20 50 to make a free mammogram appointment with BreastScreen NSW. For interpreter assistance call 13 14 50. 

In the South Eastern Sydney area there are fixed sites located at Bondi Junction, Kogarah, Miranda, Randwick and Sydney CBD. The BreastScreen mobile van also visits different locations throughout South East Sydney.

Women aged 40 to 49 years
Free screening mammograms at BreastScreen NSW are available to women aged between 40 to 49 years who wish to attend. Women are directed to discuss this decision with their GP.	Women aged 74 years and older
BreastScreen NSW provides free screening mammograms to women aged 74 years and older. While screening is of benefit, women in this age group may have other health priorities. Women are directed to discuss this decision with their GP.
What about women with symptoms?
BreastScreen NSW is for asymptomatic ‘well’ women with no signs of breast cancer. If a woman has any unusual breast changes, she should be examined by her GP and referred for a diagnostic mammogram if required. For more information about signs and symptoms go to BreastScreen NSW website.
