We’re looking to increase breast screening awareness and participation among women and trans and gender diverse people in Victoria aged 50 to 74 with no breast symptoms. We would appreciate your help in sharing our message through your channels.
We look forward to working with you to increase our breast screening rates as we work towards no deaths from breast cancer in Victoria.
To help reach priority communities, we have created specific promotion toolkits. Click on the link to access the promo materials
You can help promote breast screening by sharing our program messaging through your channels, like newsletters, social media or in presentations during community events. The key message you can use is:
For many women, booking a breast screen is not always easy. Language and cultural barriers, and other challenges such as fear of the unknown or lack of access to transport can make it difficult. With the right support and information, we can help overcome these challenges, helping more women take an important step towards protecting their health.
Having a breast screen every 2 years is the best way to detect breast cancer early.
BreastScreen Victoria invites women and trans and gender diverse people aged 50 to 74 without breast symptoms to have a breast screen every 2 years.
Our program is also available to women aged 40 to 49 years and those over 74 years, however we recommend women discuss with their doctor if breast screening is the right option for them based on their individual risk of breast cancer.
The BreastScreen Victoria program is not suitable for people with breast symptoms. Patients with breast symptoms should be referred to a diagnostic pathway timely assessment and care.

BreastScreen Victoria has launched a 6-part podcast series called Behind the Screen offering a closer look into the life-saving program.
This series was created to help women feel supported and a little less nervous when they come to our service. Listeners will hear how early detection saves lives, how the latest technology is shaping the program, and how personalised care is making a difference.
We have an incredible guest line up including program leaders, clinicians, community partners and clients.
We hope the podcast helps community and healthcare organisations learn more about our program so they can better support women to screen.
