Breast Cancer Network Australia has installed pop up Breast Check Boxes at North Bondi beach this weekend.
Supported by members of BCNA's Helpline - Women of all ages are invited to step into the free private Self Check hubs to watch a new step by step education video as part of the Know Yourself Feel Yourself campaign.
Latest data confirms that tumour size is a key factor in the survival of breast cancer.
BCNA’s Helpline members will be on the beach forecourt to answer questions in an effort to reframe the daily habit of looking in the mirror as a life saving action.
** Please note - this is not a mammogram service.
The new education video can also now be found on www. bcna.org.au
