Goldcare Medical Centre Calls on Dandenong Community: Claim Your Free Lung Scan This November
Dandenong, VIC – As World Lung Cancer Awareness Month begins this November, Goldcare Medical Centre is encouraging the people of Dandenong to take a proactive step toward protecting their health. Eligible residents are invited to learn about a new national screening program that offers a free lung scan and may significantly improve early detection outcomes.
Australia has introduced a new National Lung Cancer Screening Program, offering a free scan every two years for people who meet the criteria. It’s a significant step forward that gives many Australians a better chance of detecting lung cancer early.
Why Early Screening Matters
Lung cancer often develops quietly, especially in the early stages.
You may feel completely well, with no obvious signs that something is changing inside your lungs.
This is exactly why early screening is so important. It gives doctors a chance to spot small issues before they become serious.
Detecting lung cancer early greatly improves treatment outcomes.
When found sooner, more than 65% of cases can be treated successfully.
That can mean more years with your family, more holidays, and many more everyday moments that matter.
Here are a few key reasons screening makes such a difference:
- Early lung changes are usually invisible and symptom-free.
- Scans can detect problems long before they become harder to treat.
- Early treatment is often simpler, more effective, and less stressful.
- Screening gives you clarity and peace of mind about your health.
Taking the time to check your lungs now could make all the difference later.
Who Can Get a Free Scan?
You may qualify for the free lung scan if you are between 50 and 70 and have a history of smoking.
If that sounds like you, it’s worth asking about your eligibility. Taking a moment to check could make a real difference.
Many people hesitate, and that’s completely normal.
Health checks can feel daunting, but knowing is always better than sitting with worry.
The best part is that the scan is free for those who meet the criteria.
No surprises. No hidden costs. Just clear information about your lungs.
Here’s a quick summary of who should consider getting assessed:
- Adults aged 50 to 70
- Anyone with a history of smoking
- People who want clarity about their lung health
- Those who prefer early, proactive screening rather than waiting for symptoms
