Beautiful Shawl Project at Kirrae Health Service
August 4 - August 6
Get your breasts checked with the Kirrae Health Service and BreastScreen Victoria.
Get your breasts checked and protect yourself against breast cancer. Put your health centre stage by getting a free breast screen every two years from age 40. Regular breast screens are the best way to find breast cancer early and when treatment is most likely to be successful.
The BreastScreen Victoria mobile screening van will be onsite at Kirrae Health Service, with appointments available from 4th-6th August. Your free breast screen will be done in a culturally safe environment with a female radiographer and will only take 10 minutes.
For more information contact Kirrae on (03) 5567 1270
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women will receive a FREE beautiful shawl to use during the screening that they can keep afterwards.
The artwork on this beautiful shawl was designed by the talented Gunditjmara, Djab Whurrung artist, Jess Chatfield.
Title: Inspiration
“This piece was created in 2022 after I had attended a Straight Talk summit in Canberra.
The stars represent our ancestors who walked before us.
The women are the 60 inspirational woman I met in 2022.
Then you have my connection to the water.
My connection to my family. My connection to mob, and down the bottom is my connection to lands we live on.”
