Beautiful Shawl Project at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service – South Morang
June 2 - June 4
Get your breasts checked with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) – South Morang 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.
VAHS will be coordinating bookings at the South Morang BreastScreen Victoria clinic, with appointments available from 2nd-4th June. 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 VAHS South Morang on (03) 9419 3000
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 Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta artist, Aunty Lynette Briggs.
“Our journeys are many but our travelling path leads us back to Mother Earth, connecting us to Her Spiritual Being. Stand barefoot on Our Ancestral homelands, lay down beneath the Scared Birthing Tree that stands tall with deep roots into Mother Earth. Listen to the songlines, welcome in a new dawn, and new beginnings.”
