The Morrison Government is investing $353.9 million over the next four years as part of the 2021-22 Budget to support women’s health, including funding for cervical and breast cancer, endometriosis and reproductive health.
This significant investment builds on our Government’s commitment to implementing the five priority areas of the National Women’s Health Strategy 2020-2030 and improving long term health outcomes for women and girls.
Key investment measures include:
$100.4 million for improvements to cervical and breast cancer screening programs which will help detect these life-threatening cancers earlier, improving survival rates.

Free breast screening will be available for women aged 50-74 as Millie the mobile mammography unit visits Parliament House this week.
The screening service will be outside Parliament House from 19-23 April 2021 and will be the last urban stop for Millie before starting a remote screening schedule this year.
Millie is now better than ever following a major upgrade and installation of a new mammography unit last year.
The mobile screening unit operates across 20 regional remote communities over a two year cycle including Central Australia, Barkly, Katherine, Top End and Arnhem regions.
