 About our Breast Screening Service BreastScreen NSW is a free breast screening service for women aged 50 to 69 years. This government-funded service aims to detect breast cancer in its early stages, when treatment can be most effective. BreastScreen NSW, Sydney South West has a network of local services throughout the central Sydney, inner west and Sydney south west areas. The Service has screening locations at: - Camperdown, Croydon, Bankstown, Bowral and Liverpool. In addition there are two mobile screening vans that continually tour the area. The BreastScreen Australia Program specifically targets women aged 50 to 69 years. This is because it is in this age range that mammographic screening is most effective in saving women's lives. For this reason, BreastScreen NSW only sends reminder letters to women aged 50 to 69 years at the time of screening. Women aged 40 to 49 and 70 years and over are eligible to attend for screening and are welcome to phone for an appointment. A doctor's referral is not required.
