Culturally appropriate bowel screening resources

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

SA Health is undertaking various initiatives to decrease cancer mortality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in South Australia. Targeted resources have been developed, including gender specific bowel screening kit instructions and flipcharts about colonoscopy:

In addition SA Health has commissioned two South Australian Artists, Alan Sumner and Mel Agius to develop Aboriginal artwork (PDF 3MB) which depicts the story of cancer screening.

Culturally and linguistically diverse

Posters, brochures, flyers and factsheets about the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program in various languages can be found on the Australian Government Department of Health website.
