Now available: A new lung cancer screening program

The new National Lung Cancer Screening Program has now launched for eligible Australians aged 50-70.

The program provides free low-dose CT scans of your chest to look for early signs of lung cancer. If detected early, over 65% of lung cancers can be successfully treated.

If you’re aged 50 to 70, have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer and currently smoke or have quit in the last 10 years, you may be eligible.

The earlier cancer is found, the better our chances of treating it. Lung cancer screening could save your life.

Speak to a doctor or healthcare provider to find out if you are eligible.
