BreastScreen WA (BSWA) - the State's breast screening program - will temporarily close from Monday 30 March to protect clients and staff in response to coronavirus (COVID-19).

All breast screening appointments at BSWA's 15 State-wide clinics including the mobile screening service have been cancelled, and no new bookings can be taken at this time.

BSWA has carefully considered the clinical risks around temporary closure and for clients with no symptoms, the risk of developing breast cancer during this short period is very low.

All clients will be contacted to re-schedule their appointments once it has been established it is safe to re-open.
