The draft National Lung Cancer Screening Program Guidelines (guidelines) are now available for public consultation. The guidelines will assist healthcare providers to navigate themselves and participants through each step of the program’s screening and assessment pathway. The guidelines also provide advice on promoting cultural safety, equity and reducing stigmatising behaviour, and the provision of smoking cessation advice. The guidelines have been developed in consultation with experts, clinicians, researchers, representatives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and consumers.
We welcome feedback from all individuals and organisations. Visit the Consultation Hub to view the draft Program Guidelines and complete the online survey: https://consultations.health.gov.au/hearing-and-program-support-division/nlcsp-guidelines/
The consultation will close on 5 January 2025.
