Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancers in Australia. And sadly, the number one cause of cancer deaths. Lung Cancer Screening can help prevent that.
Chest Scan Australia has been developed to ensure easy access to lung cancer screening throughout Australia, bringing the scans you need closer to you.
From 1 July 2025, the National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) will provide
FREE Lung Cancer Screening to eligible Australians
This new government program exists to screen for lung cancer earlier, with the hopes of finding lung cancer earlier and delivering better health outcomes.
