A NEW BreastScreen NSW campaign is urging women to book in for a life-saving mammogram before it's too late, with more than 50% of NSW women aged 50-74 behind on their breast cancer screening.
Voiced by Australian entertainers Kat Stewart and Amanda Keller, the new campaign warns women that while you're living life, 'Breast Cancer Doesn't Wait'.
NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said while a record number of women have returned to the BreastScreen NSW service over the past few months, there are still more than 625,000 women who haven't booked in for their breast screen.
"We know life gets busy and reminder letters to get a breast screen often get lost under a mountain of paperwork and endless to-do lists," Park said.
"The message is simple, a breast screening appointment only takes 20 mins every two years and could save your life."
