Alternative Access to Bowel Screening Kit Program

Did you know iFOBT bowel screening kits can be ordered in bulk via the National Cancer Screening Register: Healthcare Provider Portal?

The National Bowel Screening Program now operates under two models to help increase bowel screening participation through:

1. Kits are mailed directly to eligible participants by the National Cancer Screening Register

2. Kits can be provided directly to eligible participants by their healthcare provider under the Alternative Access to Bowel Screening Kit Program

Under this Program your General Practice can order 30 kits by provider or up to 100 kits through the Healthcare Provider Portal. Please note this cannot be done through clinical software. If your General Practice would like to order more than 100 kits you will need to contact the National Cancer Screening Register on 1800 627 701.
