About the National Lung Cancer Screening Program 

How the NLCSP will work  

Screening services will begin for eligible people in July 2025. I-MED Radiology, as Australia's largest provider of imaging services, is offering NLCSP screening across our CT-enabled clinics nationwide.  

Why should I visit an I-MED clinic to be screened? 

I-MED provides prompt, accessible, high quality, low dose CT lung screening for patients. Our extensive nation-wide network guarantees that we can provide:  

• the largest number of screening clinics with a location near you 
• the largest team of highly trained subspecialist chest radiologists in Australia able to return your report to your doctors within 3 days 
• the capacity to store your images to ensure ease of comparison for future imaging 
• access to our easy-to-use online booking system, available 24/7 via your mobile or desktop. 

NLCSP lung screening bulk billed

All patients who meet the eligibility criteria will have their low dose CT screening bulk billed. 

All patients will be required to have an imaging request from their GP and should be aware that their GP may charge an out-of-pocket fee for that consultation.
