October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a good reminder that regular screening can help detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear.

In Australia, women aged 50–74 are encouraged to have a free breast screen every two years. Free screening is also available for women aged 40–49 and 75 and over.

Breast screening could save your life. Of course, if you notice a change in your breasts at any time, see your GP for timely investigations.

Find out more about screening, eligibility and how to book through https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/breastscreen-australia-program
