Diagnostic CLINIC
A diagnostic assesment is for anyone experiencing symptoms and problems or follow-up for those who have had breast disease. At our clinic you can expect a multidisciplinary team to diagnose your symptoms on the same or next day.

Risk Assessment Clinic
The following information provides a brief explanation of the process and the tests which may be performed as a part of the Risk Assessment at the Sydney Breast Clinic.
The average time for a Risk Assessment range from 1 to 5 hours - the time taken to complete the assessment is determined by the tests indicated for each individual assessment and the overall complexity of cases on any particular day. As you would understand we are unable to predict which patients will require further testing until the initial tests are performed.

Breast Screening Clinic
The clinic provides a clinical breast examination and mammogram for women over 40 with no symptoms of breast disease. The Breast Screening service provides results on the day with advice for further follow-up if required. This is partially rebatable from Medicare and a referral is required to obtain this.

Bone Mineral Density Testing
In early stages, osteoporosis can have few, if any noticable physical effects. For this reason, early detection is achieved by a Bone Mineral Density test, which can provide a quantitative assessment of bone density and determine the risk of future fracture.
