Early data from Australia's National Lung Cancer Screening Program is encouraging. Since the program started on 1 July 2025, almost 50,000 Australians at higher risk of lung cancer have enrolled, with more than 45,000 low-dose CT scans completed, and around 290 people enrolling each day.

🫁 World COPD Day 2025
Short of Breath, Think COPD.
COPD develops gradually, and early symptoms are often overlooked.
Today is a reminder to pay attention to changes in breathing. Earlier recognition can make a real difference to long-term health and quality of life.

TSANZ joined Dr Monique Ryan MP and research leaders in Canberra today, calling on the Fed Govt to unlock the full $1 billion Medical Research Future Fund each year.
Lung health can’t wait. 10% of the burden. 2% of the funding.

The MRFF was created to secure the future of Australian science. But while the Fund earns nearly $1B a year, only $650M is being released. Watch this short video to see why it matters, and join the campaign 👉 www.aamri.org.au/mrff

TSANZ stands with @mon4kooyong.bsky.social in calling for smarter use of the $24.5B MRFF. Respiratory disease is 10% of Australia’s health burden, but gets only ~2% of research funding. We’ll keep pushing for investment that strengthens respiratory health and its workforce. ow.ly/le9u50X5nvM
Billions going unspent from Australia’s $24b medical research fund
Costings commissioned by independent MP Monique Ryan reveal the government could double how much funding it gives to innovative health research each year.
