We aim to make it easier for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to have breast screens.
We support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women by:
- working with your local Indigenous Health Worker so they can make your breast screening appointment for you
- offering group bookings for breast screening so you can attend with your friends or family
- offering screening days that are only for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in some of our clinics or mobile vans
- having a 4-wheel drive mobile van that travels to Far North Queensland and the Torres Strait to offer breast screening to women in remote communities.
Learn more about cancer and screening in this Cancer Council Western Australia YouTube video for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
