BreastScreen Queensland Toowoomba Service

BreastScreen Queensland is the state program of BreastScreen Australia.

We’ve been providing Queensland women with free, quality breast screening and assessment services since 1991.

A breast screen uses a special machine to look for very small cancers in breasts that can’t be seen or felt by a woman or her doctor. A breast screen is also called a mammogram.

• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian women
• If you’re a woman, your risk of breast cancer increases greatly after the age of 50
• Nine out of 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of breast cancer
• Breast screening can find breast cancer early, before it can be seen or felt by a woman or her doctor
• Finding breast cancer early means there are more treatment options
• Breast screening has a normal result for most women, with no cancer found
