Knowledge is power but only if you act on it!
Understanding your risk level and receiving your personalised screening recommendation is only the first step. The most important step is to take action and follow through with those recommendations. At MCBC we’ll guide you through your public and private options based on your risk profile.
Public options
If you are at average risk with non-dense breasts (A/B density), aged over 40, an Australian resident, and have no current breast symptoms, you are eligible for free 2D mammographic screening through BreastScreen Australia. To arrange this, call 13 20 50.
For those at high risk most public health networks in Melbourne run familial cancer clinics. If you are assessed as high risk, you may ask your GP to refer you to the public sector to discuss risk management and ongoing screening.
Private, comprehensive option
At Melbourne Comprehensive Breast Care, we’ve built a truly multidisciplinary team — breast physicians, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, oncologists and geneticists — each chosen for their expertise in breast cancer risk assessment and management. Our specialists are hand‑picked from across Melbourne to deliver advanced, personalised care tailored to your risk profile and sensitive to your needs.
We also know women lead busy lives. That’s why we’ve designed a streamlined platform that lets you complete your risk assessment at home, while we coordinate the rest. We arrange the right test at the right time (3D mammogram; ultrasound or MRI where indicated) and minimise repeat visits.
When an in‑person consultation is needed for risk management or genetic testing, we organise referral to one of our trusted specialists near you. If your imaging identifies a suspicious finding, we prioritise high‑risk cases and aim for rapid investigation, reducing the anxious wait between screening and answers.

Symptoms vs Screening
If you have a new breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes, please book a clinical review. Symptom assessment is different from screening and should not be delayed.
