Preparing for your mammography

- Wear a two-piece outfit so you only need to undress from the waist up.
- If you have previous mammograms from another provider, bring them or arrange for them to be sent.
- Schedule for the week after your period if your breasts are tender.
Mammographycost, bulk billing & Medicare
Diagnostic mammograms referred by a doctor are Medicare-eligible and bulk billed at many clinics. Separately, BreastScreen Victoria offers free screening mammograms every two years for women aged 40 and over, no referral required. That program is separate from the diagnostic clinics listed on Radly.
A doctor's referral is required for a diagnostic mammogram and Medicare rebate. If you have symptoms (a lump, pain, discharge), see your GP for a referral rather than waiting for routine screening.

What is the difference between a screening and diagnostic mammogram?
Screening mammograms check for changes in women with no symptoms and are available free through BreastScreen. Diagnostic mammograms investigate a specific symptom or follow up an abnormal screen, need a doctor's referral, and are performed at radiology clinics.
Does a mammogram hurt?
The breast is compressed briefly during each image, which can be uncomfortable but only lasts a few seconds per image. Scheduling after your period, when breasts are less tender, can help.
How long does a mammogram take?
The appointment usually takes about 20–30 minutes, with each breast imaged from two angles.
