High St Xray is pleased to announce our involvement in the Australian Government’s National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) — a new initiative aimed at the early detection of lung cancer in eligible Australians.
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in Australia, and early detection is key to improving outcomes. This national screening program offers eligible individuals a bulk billed, low-dose CT scan, helping to identify lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage.
Who is eligible?
You may qualify for a bulk billed screening scan if you:
- Are aged 50 to 70 years
- Have a long history of cigarette smoking
- Do not have symptoms suggestive of lung cancer
A doctor’s referral is required, so please speak to your GP or specialist about your eligibility. If appropriate, your doctor will arrange a referral for a screening CT scan at High St Xray.
Low dose CT Scan appointments are available Monday to Friday, from 8:00am to 5:30pm.
At High St Xray, we are committed to supporting our community with accessible, high-quality diagnostic imaging. We’re proud to be contributing to this important public health initiative and helping improve outcomes for people at risk of lung cancer.
