Bowel Cancer Awareness Month

13th June 2024

It’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
 
Most bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully when detected early. During the early stages, people may have no symptoms, which is why screening is so important. It could help save your life.
 
From 1 July 2024, people from age 45 can start screening for bowel cancer with a free home test kit.
 
Visit health.gov.au/nbcsp for more information and to request a kit.
 
You can also talk to your doctor at Wellers Hill Medical Centre about the risks and symptoms of bowel cancer. Your doctors at Wellers Hill Medical Centre strongly encourage you to do this test.
