BreastScreen Queensland has temporarily suspended routine breast screening during the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision comes as a safeguard to all its staff members, clients and community.
All participants should be assured of the following:
women with cancelled appointments will be notified directly, as soon as possible. BreastScreen will also contact these clients to reschedule appointments once re-opened as well as clients who are due for rescreening during this time
the screening pathway will be completed for women who have recently had a breast screen
women will continue to receive their results either in the post or through their BreastScreen Queensland online account and if a woman provided her doctor’s details, they will also receive correspondence regarding her results
BreastScreen Queensland will continue to provide assessment services for women who have been asked to return following their screening for additional tests.
It is also encouraged for women to report any changes to their breasts to their doctor immediately. BreastScreen Queensland will continue to update their website here about the reopening of breast screening services. Should you have any concerns or questions please call 13 20 50.
