June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
Bowel cancer is one of Australia's most common cancers, but when detected early, more than 90% of cases can be successfully treated.
If you're aged 50–74, you may be eligible for a free bowel screening kit through the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
The test is simple, can be completed at home, and could save your life.
If you have questions about bowel cancer screening, symptoms, or your individual risk, speak with your GP.
