Aged 45 to 49 and want a kit? Talk to your doctor about bowel cancer screening.
https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/national-bowel-cancer-screening-program/
The Australian Government introduced the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) to reduce the number of deaths from bowel cancer in Australia. People with cancers diagnosed through the Program had a 40% lower risk of dying than people who had not been screened.
Eligible people aged 45-49 can request their first bowel cancer screening test be mailed to them.
Eligible people aged 50-74 will continue to receive a bowel cancer screening test in the mail every 2 years

When you can't visit a doctor in person, ask if they offer phone or video consultation instead. You'll just need access to a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop and good internet connection and you can access your appointment from the comfort of your couch. Ask your doctor more about Telehealth or learn more at Telehealth (digitalhealth.gov.au)

Digital health allows referrals for pathology or diagnostic imaging tests to be sent electronically from your doctor straight to your phone or email. You can also ask the Pathology service if they can store your results in My Health Record. Next time you need a referral for pathology or imaging ask your doctor about using ePathology.
