BreastScreen WA provides accessible, high-quality breast screening services to women across metropolitan, regional and remote Western Australia, operating 12 fixed clinics, 5 mobile screening units and 2 assessment sites across the state.

At times you may work independently in a single mobile clinic; at other times you will be part of a larger team at a metropolitan site.

All clinics are equipped with full-field digital mammography and contemporary mammography technology, ensuring you have the tools and support you need to provide high quality screening care.
