Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women will receive a FREE beautiful shawl (below) to use during the screening that they can keep afterwards.

The artwork on this beautiful shawl was designed by the talented Kurnai artist, Sally Hood.

“This artwork is about women from different areas coming together to encourage and support each other to attend breast screening clinics in their area. Each of the 5 women represent the many different journeys regardless of what their diagnosis is, you will see women with one or both breasts removed to women who still have both breasts and those who have defeated breast cancer. The yarning circles, waterholes and the lines within the background allow the women to remain connected to each other regardless of where they are from, whether they are from, the mountains or the seas, the rivers/waterways will always keep the connection between the women. The boomerangs are a reminder to return and have a breast screen and to call out when you need some support when times are hard.”
