Cancer Services

Breast Screening

Screening mammograms are recommended every two years for women aged 50-74 years. The free screening is available at Erina, as well as in mobile vans that visit different locations across the Coast. To book an appointment phone BreastScreen NSW on 13 20 50

Why screening is important

One in eight women in NSW will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Early detection offers the best chance of long-term survival from breast cancer.

Nine out of ten women who develop cancer do not have a family history of breast cancer. Even if you have no symptoms, mammograms can detect cancers before they can be seen or felt. If detected early, survival from breast cancer can be as high as 97%.

A typical appointment takes just 20mins and can save your life.

Where to get screened
