Over 80 Australians die from the disease each and every week. However if detected early, bowel cancer is 98% curable.
All men and women between the ages of 50-74 years are sent a free government bowel cancer test kit every two years. We cater for those 75+, for under age 50 and those between 50-74 who want to test themselves each year.
A Bowelscan test saves lives, saves worry, and saves immense cost to individuals, businesses and the community
The programme runs during two months every year to raise the awareness of the risks of bowel cancer and to encourage Australian's most at risk to take the annual test.
With the support of hundreds of pharmacies throughout Australia, the programme distributes Bowelscan testing kits to local communities, giving people the opportunity to test themselves early and regularly enough to have a fighting chance at survival.
