National lung cancer screening program launched
01 Jul 2025
The new National Lung Cancer Screening Program launches today. The program aims to find lung cancer early and save hundreds of lives each year.
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is now available to people aged 50 to 70 years old, and who:
- show no signs or symptoms suggesting you may have lung cancer (that is, you are asymptomatic)
- currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 10 years
- have a history of tobacco cigarette smoking of at least 30 pack-years.
If you believe you are eligible, talk to your healthcare practitioner (a GP or a nurse practitioner) to participate today.
