Study Purpose/Description

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and accounts for 18% of the cancer burden in Australia. In July 2025, Australia will start a National Lung Cancer Screening Program. This project will create educational resources and a strategy to support the program’s rollout.

We acknowledge and celebrate the knowledge and the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities and recognise their continuing connection to land and waters.

We thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and the many individuals, organisations that have supported and guided us through our journey.

There is a huge opportunity to partner more with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build on existing community strengths and resilience, often in the face of ongoing inequities. Through Join Us, we will work together in the spirit of reciprocity to address ongoing impacts of colonisation so that we can all realise optimal health and wellbeing.
