Make A Noise!
Bowel cancer kills 80 Australians every week, yet nearly all cases can be cured if found early.
The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program is currently only available to select age groups which means more than 5 million Australians are missing out on a simple test that could save their lives.
We believe every Australian over 50 has the right to a free National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
