Tragically, bowel cancer claims the lives of around 100 Australians every week. If you or one of your loved ones is aged 50 or over, you're at higher risk of bowel cancer.

The good news is that, if found early, 90% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated. This is why screening is so important.

If you're aged between 50 and 74, you will receive a free home testing kit from the Government. Do the test – it could save your life.
