  • Show Up Campaign launch breaking down barriers to screening 10 October 2025 Show Up campaign launch breaks down screening barriers This month, as part ofBreast Cancer Awareness Month, we launched a powerful campaign that speaks directly to thebarriersmany women face when it comes to screening— fear of pain,lack of time, and misconceptions around family history.This campaign is told through the experience of three brave women. The message to WA women is simple: Show Up! Show up for yourselves, Show up for those who love you. Show up and put your health first. We have a dedicated campaign landing pagewhere women are encouraged to get the facts of breast health. It includes an FAQ and a ‘what to expect’ overview during a mammogram. These messages are brought to life through the stories of three women: Jodie Joyce, a member of our Consumer Reference Group, who addresses the fear of discomfort and encourages others to push past it.

  • Staff posing in front of truck at EveryWoman Expo
    EveryWoman Expo 2024 28 June 2024 EveryWoman Expo 2024 was on June 20-23 this year and was a huge event for the organisation. BreastScreen WA not only had a booth at the Expo, but the mobile screening unit Boronia was on-site to screen willing visitors. This huge team effort of radiographers, administrative staff and health promotion staff led to 169 women screening over the weekend. Survey data showed that the convenience of having the mobile clinic on-site to screen while at the Expo was the biggest reason why women chose to screen at the Expo, and for many it was their first time. Overall, nearly 300 women were booked, whether that was for the mobile unit, or at a permanent clinic closer to home.
