- $2.44 million fit-out delivers an upgraded BreastScreen WA clinic in Bunbury
- Convenient new location for breast cancer screening and assessment
- Forms part of the Cook Labor Government's $8 million investment in additional funding for BreastScreen WA
A new, fit-for-purpose breast screening clinic will open its doors today in the heart of Bunbury, following a $2.44 million investment by the Cook Labor Government.
Relocating from the Bunbury Health Campus to South Bunbury, the new clinic has been fitted out with state-of-the-art equipment, additional consulting rooms, ultrasound facilities, and multiple waiting rooms.
The new facility delivers on part of the Cook Labor Government's $8 million investment in additional funding for BreastScreen WA through the 2026-27 State Budget, demonstrating our strong commitment to supporting women's health needs.
BreastScreen WA plays a vital role in the early detection of breast cancer, and the relocated clinic will provide women across the South West with improved access to screening and assessment services in a convenient, central Bunbury location.
One in seven women is at risk of developing breast cancer, with the risk increasing with age.
Women aged 50 to 74 years are encouraged to have a free screening mammogram every two years. Women aged 40 to 49 years are also eligible for free screening and encouraged to have a mammogram every two years also.
Women who have a family history of breast cancer are encouraged to monitor their own breasts regularly and put a breast screening plan in place through their medical practitioner if they are under 40 or have any symptoms between screening mammograms.
However, any woman who is concerned or experiencing symptoms should see their general practitioner.
The new clinic is located at 138 Spencer Street in South Bunbury and has replaced the current clinic at the Bunbury Health Campus.
