BreastScreen Victoria Eligibility Criteria 

 

Is BreastScreen right for you? 

BreastScreen Victoria is part of BreastScreen Australia, the national screening program for breast cancer. BreastScreen Victoria invites people aged 50-74 who do not have breast symptoms for a breast screen every two years.  

The BreastScreen Victoria program provides free mammograms to eligible Victorians over the age of 40. Please refer to COVID-19 and our service » My BreastScreen for further information if you are between 40 – 49 and over 75. 

The guide below will help determine if BreastScreen Victoria is right for you.  

BreastScreen Victoria is unable to screen you if you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the following:

  • I have been diagnosed with breast cancer within the past 5 years 
  • I am, or may be, pregnant
