BreastScreen SA is a free health service for women from diverse cultures and language groups. We make it easy and comfortable for every eligible woman to have their regular breast screens.
What is a breast screen?
A breast screen (also known as a mammogram) is an x-ray of the breasts. It can find cancers that are too small to feel.
- It’s free
- It takes 15 minutes
- Is available in metropolitan, rural and remote South Australia
- You do not need a doctor’s referral
We want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your breast screen and will treat you with respect and care. Our screening staff are all women, and we provide culturally appropriate and accessible services to women of all backgrounds.

Breast screening information in 25 languages
Interpreters
We provide free, culturally appropriate female interpreters to support you at your screening appointment.
A trained interpreter is recommended to ensure that you understand the information that is discussed with you and are able to make informed decisions about your care. You are welcome to bring your partner, relative or friend for support at your appointments.
You can book an appointment through an interpreter by calling 13 14 50 and asking to be connected to BreastScreen SA.
