Three million screens milestone 18 July 2025 BreastScreen WA has reached an incredible milestone of delivering three million free screening mammograms since opening in 1989! This monumental achievement would not be possible without the efforts of every staff member at BreastScreen WA, who are dedicated to saving lives through early detection. In the past few years, BreastScreen WA has averaged around 135,000 screenings per year across 12 fixed clinics and over 100 WA towns, with July 2024 being the highest screening month ever recorded with 13,487 screens. In the last financial year, first-time screeners increased by 10%. The team reached one million screens after 19 years in 2008, then nine years later in 2017 reached two million screens. It has taken only eight years to reach the third million in 2025. Well done team! -

Staff either ran 10km or 5km, or walked 5km across the beautiful course, starting from Victoria Gardens, crossing Matagarup Bridge, along the Burswood foreshore and then Claisebrook Cove, all with stunning views of the Swan River. The team of 22 included BreastScreen WA's own Director Dr Emmeline Lee, radiologists, radiographers, and administrative, IT and Health Promotion staff and their families. Thank you also to Dr Julia Feutrill who took part sporting BreastScreen WA’s pink t-shirt. The team enjoyed a well-deserved brunch together after all their efforts. The team has raised over $2600 towards this important cause. Well done all!
