Mobile BreastScreen van in the Clarence Valley

The mobile breast screening van is currently open in Yamba and will be open in Iluka from August 7, and Maclean from 19 August.

BreastScreen NSW provides the free breast screening to women to support the early detection of breast cancer.

The BreastScreen NSW van will be parked in the following locations:

Yamba: On River Street, in front of the Yamba Gold and Country Club.

Iluka: On Denne Street, outside of Club Iluka.

Maclean: 7-9 Centenary Drive, Cameron Park car park (behind the CBD and near Ritchies IGA)

An appointment with BreastScreen NSW is free, takes less than 20 minutes, and no doctor’s referral is needed.

All women are invited by BreastScreen NSW to screen every two years from age 50.

Any woman with a family history of breast cancer should discuss their specific needs with their GP.

Anyone with breast symptoms should contact their GP or health worker without delay.

The mobile breast screening van is equipped with a lift system to support women with health conditions or disability to have their mammogram.

Women with additional needs are encouraged to let us know when booking their appointment.
