BreastScreen NSW says a routine breast screen found breast cancer in Gomeroi woman Jacqui Nean Kahn before she noticed any changes, allowing her to begin treatment sooner.
Her experience is now part of BreastScreen NSW’s Stay Strong, Black and Deadly campaign. It carries a clear message as the mobile screening van prepares to visit Moree Services Club from Wednesday, July 29, 2026, until Friday, August 21, 2026.
BreastScreen NSW is designed for women who do not have breast symptoms. Routine screening looks for cancer before a lump or another change can be seen or felt.
The mobile van will be at Moree Services Club, 3 Albert Street, giving women across Moree and the surrounding district access to free breast screening close to home.
Appointments take about 20 minutes and do not require a doctor’s referral.
A breast screen, also called a mammogram, is an x-ray of the breasts. BreastScreen NSW says mammograms can detect cancers as small as a grain of rice.
BreastScreen NSW shares Jacqui’s experience through its campaign to encourage Aboriginal women to have regular breast screens and stay well for their children, families and communities.
Who should book?
Women aged 50 to 74 are advised to have a breast screen every two years. This is the age group most likely to benefit from regular screening.
Women aged 40 to 49 and those aged 75 and over can also book a free appointment. BreastScreen NSW advises women outside the main target age group to speak with their GP about whether screening is right for them.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women aged 40 to 74 are advised to have a breast screen every two years.
The screening program is for women who do not have breast symptoms.
Anyone who notices a lump, nipple discharge, unusual pain, a change in breast shape or another breast change should see their GP rather than wait for a routine screening appointment.
What to expect
Appointments take about 20 minutes and are carried out by a female radiographer.
Women are advised to wear a two-piece outfit because clothing must be removed from the waist up. BreastScreen NSW also advises women not to use deodorant, powder or creams on their body that day because these products may affect the mammogram.
The Moree site is fully accessible and free general parking is available at Moree Services Club.
Anyone who needs help because of a physical or health condition should mention this when booking.
The clinic will operate from 1.40pm to 4.10pm on Mondays, 8.10am to 4.10pm from Tuesday to Thursday, and 8.10am to 10.15am on Fridays.
Jacqui’s experience is a reminder of why regular screening matters even when there are no symptoms. For women across Moree and the surrounding district, the mobile van’s visit brings that opportunity closer to home.
