Victorians in the Goulburn Valley will soon have better access to lifesaving breast cancer screening and follow-up tests, thanks to Andrews Labor Government funding for a new BreastScreen Victoria Reading and Assessment Service.
Minister for Health Martin Foley today announced Shepparton would be home to the ninth BreastScreen Victoria Reading and Assessment Service in Victoria.
The new service is part of a $7.7 million boost over four years for BreastScreen Victoria assessment services as part of the
Improving Rural Health Outcomes initiative in the Victorian Budget 2020/21.
Eligible Victorians can receive their initial scan at one of 42 screening clinics and two mobile services across the state. If there is a need to have a follow up assessment, they can attend a Reading and Assessment Service.
