New BreastScreen Tasmania clinic opens in Rosny Park

A new breast screening clinic that provides life-saving cancer detection services is now open on Hobart’s Eastern Shore.

The new BreastScreen Tasmania Clinic will significantly boost mammogram screening capacity in the public system and is expected to increase the number of women who receive potentially life-saving mammograms. 

As the third permanent clinic in Tasmania, it will not only expand access to services in Southern Tasmania, but also across the State by increasing the availability of BreastScreen Tasmania’s Mobile Screening Units to visit more rural and regional locations throughout the year.

Accessing free screening and assessment on time is so important, because the evidence shows early detection of breast cancer significantly increases the chance of recovery and survival.

Screening mammograms are fast and free, and you don’t need a doctor’s referral to make an appointment.

BreastScreen Tasmania offers free screening mammograms and follow-up assessment services to all eligible Tasmanians aged over 40, with those aged 50-74 years in particular strongly encouraged to participate.
