National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP)

What is the National Lung Cancer Screening Program?

Starting from the 1st July 2025, eligible Australians will be able to access a bulk billed lung Cancer screening scan through the National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP). Lumus Imaging is proud to support this important government initiative by providing low-dose CT (LDCT) scans at selected locations across our network.

The NLCSP is a government-funded program aimed at detecting lung cancer in its early stages, before any symptoms develop. All low-dose CT (LDCT) scans performed under the program will be bulk billed for eligible patients, meaning there will be no out-of-pocket expenses for eligible patients.

How does the National Lung Cancer Screening Program work?

1. Visit your GP to assess your eligibility for the National Government Lung Cancer Screening program. Eligible participants will receive a referral for a low-dose CT.
2. Take your low-dose CT referral to Lumus Imaging for a walk-in low-dose CT appointment.
3. Your GP will follow up with your results.
