Australia has three main national population-based cancer screening programs: the BreastScreen Australia Program for breast cancer, the National Cervical Screening Program for cervical cancer, and the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program for bowel cancer. These government-run programs aim to detect cancers early to reduce illness and death, with each targeting specific age groups and using different screening methods to identify the disease at its earliest stages.

Please speak with your doctor or nurse if you want to learn more about these programs and how you can get screened.
