Today we were excited to be part of the Pink Ribbon Breakfast morning tea, hosted by Andrew Giles MP.
Our Director of Communications and Client Engagement shared information about our life-saving program with community group leaders, educating them on the importance of breast screening. We also had the opportunity to answer questions and schedule appointments. 💕
It was wonderful to see the community so engaged and invested in their health. Thank you for having us!

Today is the first day of Transgender Awareness Week - a time to celebrate trans and gender diverse pride, and to stand as proud allies everywhere 💗
Introducing one of our amazing clients, and Consumer Network member Andrea who tells us about her experience breast screening as an out and proud trans woman.
This is a great reminder to our trans and gender diverse communities that if you’re between 50 to 74 years old and it’s been 2 years since your last breast/chest screen, it’s time to book in! ⭐
Eligibility for trans and gender diverse communities can be confusing. If you're trans or gender diverse and wondering if screening is right for you, click here: https://bit.ly/43Wfxbh

Today it's double the celebration with World Radiography Day and International Day of Radiology.
Today and everyday we acknowledge the work of our incredible Radiographers and Radiologists and thank them for their expertise, care and commitment to our clients. ❤️

New research led by Professor Bruce Mann in partnership with us and the Royal Melbourne Hospital has confirmed what we've long known - that early detection of breast cancer leads to better health outcomes.
This research shows that women who take part in regular breast screening are more likely to survive breast cancer and often need less intensive treatment when diagnosed.
This is your reminder - if you're aged 50 to 74 with no breast symptoms, book your free, 10 minute breast screen today.

And that's a wrap on Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM)! ❤️😍

On the final day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr Alia Kaderbhai teaches us how to be breast aware in 3 simple steps: look, feel and learn.
If you are a woman or trans and gender diverse aged between 50-74 it's important to know the look and feel of your breasts. Being breast aware also includes having a breast screen when you are due. It’s important to see a doctor if you notice any changes.
If you have no breast symptoms and you're due for a breast screen call 13 20 50 or book via the link below. 💗

We're loving seeing our team get into the Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) spirit!
We had a field of pink ladies, plus many of our clinics turned pink by spreading awareness and a bit of fun with their creative and bright decorations. 💗
We hope the decorations brought our clients some joy when arriving for their appointments. 🫶
A special thanks to our amazing team for getting involved in the BCAM spirit!

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.
