National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR)

The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) is a world-first, digital platform developed to underpin the Australian Government’s National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) and National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP).

The NCSR has been designed to enable a single electronic record for each person participating in the programs, and provides a national electronic infrastructure for the collection, storage, analysis and reporting of screening program data.

It is the first digital health system in Australia to comprehensively link all relevant population screening stakeholders, including the Commonwealth Government and state health authorities, GPs, specialists, public and private pathology services, and the participant.

The NCSR supports the end-to-end operations of the screening programs by:

• Inviting and reminding eligible people to participate in bowel and cervical screening and supporting clinical follow-up for participants with screen-detected abnormalities.
• Generating comprehensive data to inform policy and improve screening program quality and service delivery.
• Providing healthcare professionals better access to quality health information and making it easier for program participants to take control of their health.
