Mammograms free in Woy Woy

BreastScreen NSW's mobile clinic will commence free mammograms for women aged 50 and over in Woy Woy until Friday, June 19.

Ms Andrews urged women aged 50 to 69 in the Peninsula region to have a mammogram while the mobile BreastScreen NSW service is currently in the area.

"The highest risk age group are women aged 50 to 69, however screening should also be considered by women over 40 who have a strong family history of breast cancer," Ms Andrews said.

"The mobile BreastScreen NSW service makes free mammograms more accessible to women in the Central Coast area and across the state."

The mobile clinic has been located at Chambers Place, near the entry to Woy Woy Oval, since June 1.

Ms Andrews said the service would provide free mammograms to women who are due for a two-yearly breast screen.

Women who are due for a regular two-year mammogram will receive a reminder letter from BreastScreen NSW.

Appointments can be made by calling 132 050.
