Can women aged 40 to 49 years, make an appointment?
Yes. The current BreastScreen Australia policy about screening women aged 40 to 49 years states that: Mammography screening through BreastScreen Australia is available to women aged 40 to 49 years who have decided, based on current knowledge and personal choice that they wish to attend. However there is clear evidence that screening has the greatest population benefit for women aged 50 to 69 years to prevent deaths from breast cancer.
