BreastScreen Aotearoa provides a free screening mammogram to all women aged between 45-69 years.  Any follow up assessment that is required as a result of the BreastScreening Mammogram, is also free, and covered under the programme.

  5. Are not pregnant or breast feeding
  6. Are a New Zealand Resident.  This includes women who usually live in the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau.
