Don’t miss this opportunity to play your part in leading the way to deliver life-saving interventions for all Australians.
The rollout of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program is months away. What's it all about? How will it work? What do you need to know?
Designed to prepare health professionals, consumer advocates, and policymakers for the launch of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program in July 2025, our full day symposium promises to equip you with the knowledge, practical tools, and collaborative strategies to navigate the program rollout.
This is your opportunity to help the nation deliver best-practice, equitable, person-centred lung cancer screening and follow-up care across metropolitan, regional, and rural settings.
Be inspired by our speakers and panel discussions, expertly guided by leaders from the VCCC Alliance and cancer workforce across primary care, lung cancer, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health.
Together, let’s set the stage for a transformative step forward in lung cancer care.
Expert guidance: Gain in-depth knowledge of evidence-based guidelines, eligibility criteria, and best practices for low-dose CT lung cancer screening.
Collaborative learning: Connect with a multidisciplinary audience of respiratory physicians, radiologists, GPs, oncologists, nurses, allied health professionals, radiographers, and consumer advocates.
Equity in action: Explore culturally safe care approaches for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and solutions to overcome barriers in regional and rural settings.
Practical readiness: Get equipped with tools, referral pathways, and data systems to integrate lung cancer screening into routine practice with confidence.
