A free lung screening scan could save your life

There's a new National Lung Cancer Screening Program that can help find lung cancer early, before symptoms start.

If you’re aged 50 to 70 and have a history of smoking, you may be eligible for a free lung screening scan every two years through this program.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia. But when it’s found early, more than 65% of cases can be successfully treated.

The screening involves a low-dose CT scan of your chest to check for early signs of lung cancer. It’s quick, painless and it could save your life!

Even if you feel completely fine, screening can give you peace of mind and more healthy years to spend with the people you love.

Think you might be eligible? Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about lung screening today.

It’s good to know.

It's Good to Know: New campaign to raise awareness of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program

A new national campaign has been launched to raise awareness of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) and increase participation among eligible Australians aged 50 to 70 years.  

The It's Good to Know campaign is supported by the Australian Government and delivered in partnership with Cancer Council Victoria, National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, ACON, the Multicultural Health Collaborative and the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service south-eastern and will run across video, radio, social media, digital and outdoor channels nationally.

With this campaign now launched, it is expected that more patients will be presenting to primary care clinics for information and referral.

The program offers eligible participants a free low-dose CT scan every 2 years to detect lung cancer early, before symptoms appear.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. However, when detected early through screening, more than 65% of cases can be successfully treated.

As a healthcare provider, you play a critical role in the delivery of the program. This campaign will help drive those conversations and ensure more Australians can benefit from early detection.

Lung cancer screening is now available - it's good to know!

There's a new National Lung Cancer Screening Program that can help find lung cancer early, before symptoms start.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia. Often, people don’t know they have it until symptoms start, but this screening program can change that.  

When found early, more than 65% of lung cancers can be successfully treated.

Who is the program for?

You may be eligible for a free scan every two years if you:

• Are aged 50 to 70, and
• Smoke cigarettes or quit smoking within the past 10 years, and
• Have no current symptoms of lung cancer (e.g. coughing up blood or wheezing), and
• Have a 30 pack-year smoking history (your doctor can help work this out).

You don’t need to feel sick to get screened. And you don’t need to quit smoking to be eligible.  

What do I need to do?

If you think you may be eligible, the first step is to speak to your doctor or healthcare provider. They will check your eligibility, talk you through the process, and give you a referral form for the free scan.

The scan is a low-dose CT scan of your chest. It’s quick, painless and could save your life.

This new screening program could help you stay well and give you more healthy years with your loved ones.

If you think you might be eligible, ask your doctor or healthcare provider about lung screening today or visit lungcancerscreen.org.au to find out more.
