Our program
BreastScreen Victoria aims to reduce the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis ensuring you have the best health outcome through early detection. We aim to provide free mammograms to 70% of women aged 50−74 every two years, as they are the group most at risk of developing the disease. However, all eligible Victorians 40+ are eligible to attend.
BreastScreen Victoria is a fully accredited part of BreastScreen Australia, and is jointly funded by the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments.
Mission
At BreastScreen Victoria we save lives by providing screening and being a trusted source of information on breast cancer. We will assist eligible Victorians to make informed decisions about their approach to the early detection of breast cancer. While BreastScreen Victoria is an inclusive program, we target our breast screening services to Victorian women aged 50-74.
Vision
BreastScreen Victoria will be both a world class cancer screening provider that saves lives and a trusted source of information on breast cancer.
Values
Client focus - Women's health is our primary focus
Quality - We pursue excellence
Partnerships - We work with our partners to achieve our mission
Flexibility - We are innovative and creative
Efficiency - We make best use of resources
Transparency - We are forthright and accountable

Why us
Our quality and accreditation program
At BreastScreen Victoria our mission is to foster delivery of the best possible service and outcomes for women by identifying and leading the development of systems, processes, information, skills and a culture of client centric care.
We do this by:
partnering with clients
governance and performance monitoring
undergoing accreditation
continuous quality and practice improvement.
Quality improvement
The Quality and Clinical Governance Standing Committee, a Board sub-committee, provides direction to all aspects of quality at BreastScreen Victoria. Everything we do in Quality is aimed at getting the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Quality is also overseen by a number of our Quality Groups: Radiology, Radiography, Nurse Counsellors, Data Management and Program Managers. This provides an opportunity to identify and resolve issues and to work together to develop improvements in service quality. Each BreastScreen service convenes a 'Service Quality Committee', which ensures consistent attention to the operational and clinical matters that can affect performance.
An important test of Quality is the ability to meet National Accreditation Standards and to achieve the required level of Accreditation. The Victorian State Quality Committee supports service providers and the BreastScreen Coordination Unit to achieve and maintain accreditation.
Accreditation
BreastScreen Victoria has a rigorous accreditation program and services are monitored to ensure they comply with the National Accreditation Standards.
These standards were developed by an expert committee within the national program, administered by BreastScreen Australia and the National Quality Management Committee. They are based on research evidence and experience in breast cancer screening in Australia and overseas. They have been developed for each of the following domains:
Participation
Cancer detection
Safety and harm minimisation
Timeliness
