This communications kit supports the release of the Atlas Focus Report: Colonoscopy and revised Colonoscopy Clinical Care Standard on 21 September 2025.
We welcome your support for our Colonoscopy campaign by downloading and sharing the content on your website, social networks or within your health service.
You are encouraged to use these resources to promote data findings in the Atlas Focus Report: Colonoscopy and best practice care in the revised Colonoscopy Clinical Care Standard.
Our efforts aim to improve care for all Australians undergoing a colonoscopy, which can help prevent and detect bowel cancer.

Message 2
The new Atlas Focus Report: Colonoscopy from the @ACSQHC provides interactive national trend data on MBS-subsidised colonoscopy and repeat colonoscopy use.
The gap between areas with the highest and lowest colonoscopy rates is increasing. People in more affluent areas are accessing more colonoscopy, while people in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas are receiving fewer services.
The 10-year trend report examines rates at a national, state, PHN and local (SA3) area. Examine rates in your area.
