In 1997, the Australian Health Technology Advisory Committee recommended a bowel cancer screening program for Australians 👴🏿 Following a pilot program, the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) began in 2006 💩
Since then over 7.9 million bowel screening home test kits have been completed. Home Kits are available for Australians aged between 50 and 74 every two years. If you’ve been sent the home test kit, do it today.
If someone you love is eligible but has never screened or hasn’t screened for some time, encourage them to do their home test kit.
Early detection through cancer screening saves lives 🏥
