About the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program

People aged 45 to 74 can screen for bowel cancer using a free, simple test that can be done at home. Screening to detect the early signs of bowel cancer saves lives.

BreastScreen Victoria provides a population screening service for breast cancer

BreastScreen Victoria is a population screening program, which means we offer our service to the eligible group in the community proven to benefit most from screening. Breast screening is known to be most effective in reducing breast cancer deaths and the impact of treatment among women in the 50-74 age group.

BreastScreen Victoria (BSV) is a free service for women with no breast symptoms. We invite women* aged 50 to 74 years old to have a breast screen regularly, usually every two years.

Influenza (sometimes called 'the flu') is a highly contagious virus that causes widespread illness every year.

Immunisation and practising prevention measures are the best ways we can protect against the flu and reduce the number of influenza infections and deaths.

Flu immunisation is recommended for everyone from 6 months of age who want to protect themselves from the flu and its complications.

Some people are more at risk of complications from the flu and are eligible for free vaccination.

People who work or live with people who are at risk of serious complications should also be immunised to avoid spreading the flu.

The flu vaccine cannot give you the flu because it does not contain any live virus.
