Research

We support research to improve population-based breast cancer screening and deliver better health outcomes for the community.

We contribute to research by:

  • Helping to define research questions
  • Sharing our data
  • Collaborating on research projects and publications
  • Applying research outcomes to our program

Research Framework

Our research enablers, principles and priorities are outlined in the BreastScreen Victoria Research Framework. This framework is designed to guide researchers, research institutions, consumers, and funding bodies working with us, helping them identify the areas with the greatest impact and translation into practice.
