3 Getting a breast screen has never been easier, especially for women aged 50 to 74, when regular checks are most effective. And now, it’s even more convenient with the BreastScreen Queensland mobile unit visiting Pimpama Shopping Centre from mid July until early September. This mobile service brings free breast screening close to home. BSQ offers screening mammograms for eligible people 40 years and older, with individuals welcome to continue screening beyond age 74. It’s a simple, 30-minute appointment that could save your life. Breast screening can detect tiny cancers early, before you or your doctor can see or feel them. And the earlier breast cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. That’s why women should screen regularly and are encouraged to book a breast screen every two years. A Culturally Safe Program for First Nations Women The Service is proud to offer the Sistas Shawl initiative, designed to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women feel more comfortable and culturally supported during their screen. The shawl can be worn or held during the appointment to enhance modesty and connection to culture. This initiative is already making a difference, with almost 1,000 First Nations women attending BSQ Gold Coast Service over the past two years – many for the first time. Whether it’s your first screen or you’re next one is due, take care of your health and book your free breast screen today. With welcoming staff, minimal wait times, and convenient locations near you, BSQ makes it easy to tick this important check-up off your list.
