Lung Cancer Screening

There is currently no routine screening test for lung cancer in Australia. Lung cancer is a complex disease and there are a number of factors and issues involved in creating a national screening program.

On 2 May 2023, the Hon Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Aged Care announced the funding of a National Lung Cancer Screening Program. It is expected to begin by July 2025. The program will target people who are at the highest risk of lung cancer. The aim is to detect lung cancer early to increase the likelihood of successful treatment, improve lung cancer outcomes and ultimately save lives.
