About the role
Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer deaths in women and increases in frequency with age. One in 11 South Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 75 years.
BreastScreen SA provides approximately 100,000 screening mammograms each year. Of those women screened, around 5% will be recalled to the service’s dedicated Assessment Clinic for the investigation of a screen-detected abnormality.
BSSA employs a small number of Nurses to provide information, education, support, and counselling to clients throughout their screening and assessment journey, from booking an initial appointment through to receiving and understanding results.
