Patients are encouraged in the first instance to discuss any breast concerns with their general practitioner.

Although a referral is not necessary, it can be helpful as the information provided on the referral will assist the breast physician at the Breast Cancer Clinic to establish the urgency of the assessment, and any previous medical history.

For an appointment, please contact 08 

At your appointment, you will see a breast physician who will take your medical history and arrange a triple assessment, comprising:

• A clinical assessment
• A radiological assessment
• A Pathological Assessment

Once the radiology and pathology reports are received, you return to the Breast Cancer Clinic to discuss the results with your breast physician and to arrange any additional investigations.

Every effort is made to arrange the radiology and pathology assessments on the day, however some results may not be available for 24 to 48 hours.

Please note that we do not provide any results over the phone, 

Every effort is made to complete the full assessment on the day of the initial appointment.

It is not necessary to have private health insurance to attend the Breast Cancer Clinic, however because this is a private clinic, there is a cost for the consultation.

Radiology and pathology will incur additional costs and Medicare will cover a proportion of these accounts.

We recognise that the discovery of a breast symptom can be a very stressful experience, and will always endeavour to respond promptly to requests for appointments and to provide a caring and supportive environment.
