๐ The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is here ๐
From July 2025, eligible Australians aged 50โ70 with a history of smoking can now access free lung cancer screening through Medicare. Screening uses a low-dose CT scan to detect lung cancer earlyโoften before symptoms appearโwhen treatment is most effective.
โ๏ธ If youโve smoked for at least 30 pack-years (e.g., one pack a day for 30 years, or two packs a day for 15 years) and currently smoke or quit within the last 10 years, you may be eligible.
โ๏ธ Early detection saves livesโresearch shows screening can find up to 70% of lung cancers early
๐ Talk to your GP today about whether youโre eligible and how to get referred for your free scan.
