| #N2Y Advocacy Agenda
Bowel Cancer Australia’s Never2Young Advocacy Agenda seeks to improve care experiences and health outcomes for younger people by championing -
- Greater awareness: among the community and health professionals of young-onset bowel cancer.
- Lower screening age: below 50, in response to the increasing rates of bowel cancer in younger people.
- Prompt GP referral: to a colonoscopy for all younger people who present with symptoms that may be consistent with bowel cancer.
- Improved pathways: that ensure timely triage, diagnosis and treatment for younger people.
- Better understanding: the challenges of young-onset bowel cancer to improve and tailor treatment, support and care for younger patients.
- Further research: into the causes of young-onset bowel cancer, helping build a path toward a cure.
Help us to challenge perceptions and create a powerful voice for change by sharing our
Never2Young Advocacy Agenda and your lived experience.

Download our social tiles, be the messenger, and help us to raise awareness that you’re never too young to have bowel cancer.
Our easily shareable Never2Young Advocacy Agenda social tiles can be downloaded and added to your own social media anytime throughout June.
