Have Your Say!

This survey will help understand the barriers and enablers to participation in the new life-saving National Lung Cancer Screening Program that's officially starting in July 2025.

Have your say if you're an organisation representing a priority population disproportionately impacted by lung cancer, or you're an individual/consumer and you believe your organisation would be interested in sharing your own personal experiences and perspective.

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program will use a low-dose CT scan to detect lung cancer in asymptomatic at-risk Australians. When lung cancer is detected early improved outcomes and cure are possible. At-risk Australians will be able to have a free lung scan every two years.

Your insights will help ensure people who need the program can access it.
