Information for participants

The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) supports the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program and the National Cervical Screening Program. The NCSR invites and reminds eligible people to screen, as well as issuing bowel program screening test kits in the mail.

If you are eligible to participate in Australia’s bowel or cervical screening programs, you can use the NCSR to:

  • review and update your personal information
  • check when your next screening is due
  • manage your participation.

Change to eligible age for bowel screening

From 1 July 2024, people aged 45 to 49 can join the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.

 

People aged 45 to 49 will be able to request their first free kit or talk with their doctor about getting a kit.
