The Commonwealth Government’s Lung Cancer Screening Program is set to launch in July this year. The program will use low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans to look for lung cancer in high-risk people without any symptoms.
Below are the latest updates on the new screening program.
A helpful checklist is available to provide information on preparing your practice so it is ready for the Program launch in July 2025.
The Department has published the NLCSP guidelines and resources relating to the program on their website. These resources will support the healthcare sector to facilitate a participant’s entire screening journey, including guidelines and information about preparing to offer the program, determining eligibility, starting conversations, providing support for participants, and answers to frequently asked questions.
Lung Foundation Australia and Daffodil Centre will launch educational resources for the NLCSP.
