Developing the Final BreastScreen Australia Review Report and Strategic Plan

Background

Established in 1991, BreastScreen Australia (BSA) stands as one of Australia’s most successful public health initiatives, delivering measurable impacts on breast cancer detection and treatment outcomes since 1991. The BSA Program has been undergoing a comprehensive review that will conclude in early 2025, that is being undertaken in partnership with the Commonwealth, states and territories and supported by the BSA Review Steering Committee and Expert Advisory Group (EAG).

We have been engaged by the Department of Health and Aged Care (the ‘Department’) to lead the final phase of the BreastScreen Australia (BSA) National Policy and Funding Review.
