Dear Community,

We are proud to be sponsoring APDOQ's Bowel Cancer Awareness Walk, which is taking place next Sunday, 21 June 2026, and we are delighted to share some exciting news.

We are honoured that the Hon. Mark Bailey MP, Queensland Shadow Minister for Health and Ambulance Services, will be joining us in support of this important cause. We will also be joined by a patient advocate from Bowel Cancer Australia who has lived experience of Stage IV bowel cancer, having been diagnosed at just 45 years of age. Their story will be a powerful reminder of why awareness, early detection and research are so important.

Bowel Health Matters

๐Ÿ’ก We talk about heart health, mental health, and skin health โ€” but what about bowel health?

Many people live with bloating, constipation, abdominal discomfort, or irregular bowel habits for years without seeking help. These symptoms are often dismissed as โ€œnormal,โ€ but they may be signs that your gut needs attention.

A healthy bowel routine is an important part of overall wellbeing. If your bowel habits have changed or youโ€™re experiencing ongoing digestive symptoms, it may be time to have a conversation with your doctor.

Your gut deserves the same care as the rest of your body. ๐ŸŒฟ

Bowel Cancer Screening Saves Lives โ€” But Too Many Australians Are Missing Out

The latest National Bowel Cancer Screening Program report reveals that while participation has increased slightly to 41.7%, nearly 6 in 10 eligible Australians still do not complete their free bowel cancer screening test.

Key findings:
โœ”๏ธ 6.28 million Australians aged 50โ€“74 were invited to participate.
โœ”๏ธ Only 41.7% completed their screening test.
โœ”๏ธ 86,089 participants (5.9%) had a positive result requiring further investigation.
โœ”๏ธ Just 11.5% received a follow-up colonoscopy within the recommended 30 days.

Bowel cancer often develops without symptoms in its early stages. A simple screening test can detect hidden blood in the stool and identify potential problems before they become serious.

If you're aged 50โ€“74 and receive a bowel screening kit in the mail, don't put it aside. Completing the test could save your life.

South Bank, Brisbane
(Start: Cultural Centre Precinct โ†’ walk to the Brisbane Sign)

This is a community event open to everyone โ€” healthcare professionals, students, families, friends, and anyone who would like to come together in support of bowel cancer awareness.

More details will be shared soon.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it is also one of the most preventable and treatable when detected early.

Knowing the warning signs can make a real difference. Symptoms may include:
โœ”๏ธ Blood in the stool
โœ”๏ธ Persistent changes in bowel habits
โœ”๏ธ Unexplained weight loss
โœ”๏ธ Ongoing abdominal pain or discomfort

Regular screening can detect bowel cancer before symptoms even appear, helping save lives through early intervention.

This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, take a moment to learn the signs, discuss screening with your doctor if appropriate, and encourage your loved ones to do the same.

๐Ÿ’™ Early detection saves lives.
