During Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, it is timely to think about the hidden cost of the COVID pandemic on breast cancer management.

Around the world including in Australia, many breast cancers are diagnosed late as a result of COVID, affecting long term outlook of our patients.

Don’t forget to attend your regular screening and to perform regular breast self-check. If you have any breast concerns, Mitcham Breast Care and our service partners are committed to continue to provide full rapid breast assessment service despite increasing COVID numbers.

Our patients can feel reassured that our facilities operate at the highest COVID safe standards for your protection

Following the recent Cyber Incident, many Eastern Health systems remain offline.

This criminal attack has caused significant disruption to our services and extensive work continues to be undertaken with the support of the state and federal governments, alongside industry IT experts.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and inconvenience this situation is causing many of our staff, patients and the broader community. We thank you for your understanding.

Staff and patient safety remains our number one priority.

From a patient services perspective:
- All three Emergency Departments remain open;
- Category 1 elective surgery continues to be provided;
- Additional elective surgery resumed today, and
- approximately 2/3 of all scheduled outpatient clinic appointments continue to be provided.

Further expansion of services will be safely reintroduced as additional systems are restored.

Regular updates will continue to be provided.

Well done Mitcham
