Victoria’s South Asian community urged to take the government’s free bowel cancer screening test
Many Australians die of bowel cancer every week, but most cancers could be cured if we find them early. Almost all bowel cancers can be cured if we find them in time. We can find them early if people do the free at-home test. The Australian Government sends the at-home test every two years to the homes of people aged 50-74. Unfortunately, many people don’t do this test and are putting their lives at risk. Currently, less than half of the people who receive the test actually do it. We also know that people from the South Asian community participate a lot less than the general Victorian population.
Anyone aged between 50 and 74 can do the free at-home bowel cancer test, and everyone is urged to do it when it arrives in their mailbox. Bowel cancer can grow even if you feel well, and that is why doing the test is so important – even if you feel fine. The home screening test is easy, clean and free, and doing the test could save your life.
