THE BRIEF
BreastScreen Australia is a combined state, territory and Australian Government initiative to raise awareness for free breast screening for all Australian women between 40 and 74 years of age.
As part of a 5 part video series and print campaign we began by joining media personality Deborah Hutton as she gets a mammogram with the aim to de-mystify the process.
The series included Deb debunking breast cancer myths with a 2nd video interview with Vicki Pridmore the CEO of BreastScreen Victoria about common misconceptions around breast cancer and checks.
The series connected with Australian women through the brave individual stories of Rachel, Indira and Gladys who also shared their experiences in print and video.

Indira put off getting a mammogram for years because she believed risk of breast cancer was not in family medical history. Her brave story tells how she discovered her diagnosis and her heartwrenching story of strength through her ongoing treatment.
Gladys survived 50 rounds of radiation therapy to become an active figure in The Pink Sari Project.
Rachel was lucky she chose to act on the invitation for her free mammogram. It meant an early detection and removal which prevented her from undergoing invasive cancer treatments.
