Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world, with about 1 in 16 people affected in their lifetime. While it is a common cancer, it is also highly treatable when found early. The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program helps save lives by encouraging early detection, through regular screening.
The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program invites eligible people aged between 45 and 74 years to screen for bowel cancer

A Hot Zone Policy exists for hotter areas of Australia, including communities within Western Queensland. These high temperatures may impact the samples, and therefore participants may be sent the kit in the cooler months of the year.
