The Federal Government has announced Australian women with potentially dangerous PIP breast implants are now entitled to subsidised screening.
The French manufacturer PIP has been prosecuted for using industrial instead of medical grade silicone in its breast implants.
The French government instructed women there have the implants removed after they were linked to higher rupture rates and a rare form of cancer.
But Health Minister Tanya Plibersek says the Australian Government is taking a more cautious approach.
She has announced that women who know their breast implants were made by PIP will be entitled to Medicare rebates for MRI scans to determine if their implants are structurally sound.
The rebate will also be available in cases where a woman’s doctor strongly suspects she has PIP-made implants.
“Every time someone has surgery, there are risks in having that surgery, so we’re not at this stage recommending routine removal,” Ms Plibersek said.
“We need to be cautious and we need to gather the data about whether these implants have a higher rupture risk than others.”
The latest figures on the TGA website indicate there have been 171 confirmed cases in Australia of the implants rupturing and 26 unconfirmed reports.
