Consumer Network
BreastScreen Victoria is committed to ensuring that consumer voices inform our work, we do this by involving our Consumer Network in the planning and delivery of our service. This ensures that the diverse needs of our clients are met. Our Consumer Network is a committed group of people who support work at different levels of the organisation.
If you would like to join our Consumer Network, please submit the Consumer Network Expression of Interest form or for more information email consumerreps@breastscreen.org.au.
