Seeking support for LGBTI+ community awareness project

Are you an LGBTI+ community member aged between 50-74 with breast screening experience? If so, then we want to hear from you!

BreastScreen Victoria is seeking LGBTI+ and eligible trans and gender diverse peopleaged 50-74 who have had a breast screen to join our 'Picture of Health' project.

LGBTI+ community members aged 50-74 screen at a much lower rate than the heterosexual, non-LGBTIQ community. At BreastScreen Victoria, we are committed to reducing barriers to screening and making sure our services are inclusive, welcoming, and safe for LGBTI+ people. That includes working with the community and ensuring that LGBTI+ people are represented in the photos and videos for our resources, educational, and advertising materials.

'Picture of Health' is an exciting new project to help boost awareness and encourage participation in breast screening among eligible members of the LGBTI+ community. We are seeking people to share their story of breast screening and are happy to have their image used.
