How we track for success
To ensure you have the best experience every time you use our service, we closely monitor our performance and success through the following key measures.
- Participation: Our campaigns target women and trans and gender-diverse people aged 50 to 74 without breast symptoms to have a breast screen every 2 years.
- Cancer detection rates: Our goal is to detect breast cancer early in as many women and trans and gender-diverse people as possible within our eligible population. Trained radiographers carry out all screenings, using 2D mammography as our primary screening method.
- Harm minimisation: We focus on maximising early detection of breast cancer while minimising any negative impact on our clients – whether physical or emotional.
- Timeliness: We aim to provide all our clients with timely and efficient access to screening and assessment services. After each screen, we will send your results to you within approximately 2 to 4 weeks – and arrange assessment if needed, as soon as possible.
- Client focused: We actively gather feedback to better understand our clients’ experiences and ensure our services are accessible, welcoming and comfortable. By addressing client concerns and needs, we continue to deliver a high-quality, client-centred service.
