What the service does
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program helps find lung cancer early. People can take part if they meet set criteria, such as age and smoking history. People aged 50 to 70 who smoke or have smoked may be able to take part. A healthcare provider, like a general practitioner (GP), nurse practitioner or a health worker at an Aboriginal Health Service can help people check if they meet all criteria. The program uses a low-dose CT scan, which is a type of imaging test. People need a referral from the healthcare provider to have the scan. Services are available across Australia through approved clinics and health services.
