The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is now available, allowing eligible Australians aged 50-70 with no signs or symptoms of lung cancer to screen in the program every two years.

Healthcare providers and the health support workforce are critical for the delivery and success of the program. With the program now launched and enquiries rolling in, get ready to deliver the program by accessing the program resources and education.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-death in Australia. Yet, if found early, over 65% of lung cancers can be treated.

Developed by the Australian Government, in partnership with the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, this program is designed to be equity-focused, culturally safe, and person-centered. Find out more: https://bit.ly/41wFBIw
