New BreastScreen NSW clinic to open in Blacktown in 2025

It is expected to serve over 80,000 women in the area.

A new permanent BreastScreen NSW clinic will open in Blacktown in mid-2025, offering free breast screening services year-round.

The clinic, located at Warrick Lane, will help address the backlog of almost 60% of eligible women in the Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) who are overdue for their screenings.

The clinic will be open seven days a week, serving over 80,000 women in the Blacktown area.

A mobile screening van is currently available at locations across Blacktown, including the Blacktown Workers Sports Club and Blacktown City Council.

Additional screening services are offered at Mount Druitt Hospital, Castle Towers Shopping Centre, and Parramatta Westfield.

Women can find nearby screening locations at BreastScreen NSW or by calling 13 20 50.

BreastScreen NSW recommends women aged 50 to 74 get screened every two years, starting at age 40. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women should have a mammogram every two years from age 40. 

"Early detection is the key with breast cancer, and a mammogram is one of the most important things eligible women can do for their health and I strongly urge women in Blacktown to visit the team when the new service opens," said Health Minister Ryan Park.
