Thank you for the work you are doing 🌼
We’d love your support to help amplify our collective voice, as we for action on early-onset bowel cancer.
Here are 3 things YOU can do to advocate from home:
1. Take action and contact your local MP or Senator bowelcanceraustraliaadvocacy.org/contact-your-mp

3. Share your lived experience bowelcanceraustralia.org/support-care/bowel-cancer-stories
Given the rising rates of early-onset bowel cancer our Advocacy Agenda includes:
+ Greater awareness: among the community and health professionals of early-onset bowel cancer.
+ Lower screening age: in response to the increasing rates of bowel cancer in younger people.
+ Prompt GP referral: to a colonoscopy for all younger people who present with symptoms that may be consistent with bowel cancer.
+ Improved pathways: that ensure timely triage, diagnosis and treatment for younger people.
+ Better understanding: the challenges of early-onset bowel cancer to improve and tailor treatment, support and care for younger patients.
+ Further research: into the causes of early-onset bowel cancer and building a path toward a cure.
