Women aged 50–74 are invited to screen every two years.

Women in their 40s and over 75 are also welcome, but BreastScreen NSW recommend you speak with your doctor first. 

BreastScreen NSW is a free health service for women from all cultures and language groups. 

Women under 40 are not eligible to attend BreastScreen NSW, but don't let this stop you from being proactive about your health.

If you’re aged under 40 and are concerned about your risk of breast cancer (including family history) you should discuss this with your doctor. 

Women under 40 are at a much lower risk of developing breast cancer.

Breast screening can be less effective for women under 40 due to higher breast density, which can make it harder to see small cancers on an x-ray. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are recommended to screen from age 40. 

More than 75 per cent of breast cancers are found in women aged over 50.

While cancer can occur in younger women aged 40-50, it is less common.  

It’s important to note that breast screening can be less effective for women in this age group.

This is because higher breast density can make it more difficult to see a cancer on the x-ray. 

More than 75 per cent of breast cancers occur in women over 50. 

Regular breast screens are the best way to find breast cancer early.  

You will no longer receive invitations from age 75 however you can contact us to make a booking. 

Please talk to your doctor to find out if breast screening is right for you.
