Lung cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Australia with around 15,000 Australians diagnosed last year alone. When found early, over 65% of lung cancers can be successfully treated.

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program launched in July can find lung cancers earlier and is expected to save hundreds of lives every year.

If you're aged 50-70, with no signs or symptoms of lung cancer and are currently smoking or have recently quit, you may be eligible for the free scan.

Book an appointment to speak with your GP to see if you are eligible for the program.
