People over the age of 50 are encouraged to take part in regular bowel cancer screening. Screening tests can detect early signs of cancer before symptoms appear.
The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program in Australia aims to reduce deaths from bowel cancer by detecting early signs of the disease. If found early, more than 90% of cases can be successfully treated.

People aged 45 to 49 can request their first bowel cancer screening kit by submitting a webform or calling 1800 627 701.
People aged 50 to 74 receive a bowel cancer screening kit in the post every 2 years.
