When you reach the age of 50, we encourage you to make an appointment for a free screening mammogram with BreastScreen NSW. This involves looking for the early signs of breast cancer on a set of breast x-rays. BreastScreen NSW has been given permission by the State Electoral Commissioner to use the Electoral Roll to access your name and address for the purpose of invitation to the BreastScreen NSW Screening Program.

As a result, you may receive an invitation from BreastScreen NSW to have a free screening mammogram at a screening service, which will either be at a hospital or community-based facility or on a mobile van.

The invitation will also include information about the preparations you will need to make to have a mammogram.


For any further questions about breast cancer and the screening process, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section.
