Let’s yarn about bowel cancer

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the risk increases as you get older.

But the good news is that 90% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated if found early.

The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program allows people to complete a free bowel cancer screening test every 2 years once you turn 45. These tests can be done at home, simplifying bowel cancer testing.

Because bowel cancer can develop without any symptoms, it’s important to do your screening to help with early detection and prevention.

There are two ways to participate in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program:
Complete the test at home. If your address is up to date with Medicare you will receive your free kit in the mail every 2 years. Your kit will be sent to the address registered with Medicare.
If you haven’t received your kit or have concerns about doing a bowel cancer screening test, talk to your health professional.

To yarn about bowel cancer, reach out to our Kambu Health team on (07) 3810 3000

NAIDOC Ripley

Our Social Health team had a great day at NAIDOC Ripley on 1 October, hosted by West Moreton Hospital and Health Service!

It was great to get out and about, catch up with Mob, have a yarn with community, and connect with our partners and other services across the region. πŸ–€πŸ’›β€οΈ

We had the opportunity to share more about our services, what we can offer and how we support Mob, while also hearing from community and strengthening connections with the services working alongside our people.

We also heard about the new Health Equity Strategy and had the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing work in this space, sharing our knowledge and experiences about how we can continue to improve access, support and outcomes for Mob.

Days like this are a great reminder that supporting community is about relationships, connection and working together. It’s about knowing what each of us can bring to the table and making sure Mob know what supports are available when they need them.

A big thank you to West Moreton Hospital and Health Service for hosting the day and bringing everyone together. We loved catching up with Mob, having a yarn and being part of such a great community day.

When Mob, community and services come together, we can all play our part in building stronger, healthier communities.
