We’re committed to making breast screens as comfortable and accessible as possible. If you are a woman living with a disability or a chronic health condition, in most cases we can support you to have a breast screen. Please call us on 13 20 50 to make your booking so we can discuss any support needed.

All of our clinics are accessible, including our mobile screening units which have a wheelchair lift. If you have access requirements, please let us know when booking your appointment, so that we can allow for extra time and staff if needed.
