Findings

Bowelscan is a Rotary program developed in 1982 in New South Wales and now conducted by over 250 Rotary Clubs across Australia. These Clubs issue approximately 150,000 kits during their annual Colorectal Screening programs. Since Bowelscan commenced, it is estimated that more than 1,000 people with bowel cancer and 5,000 with polyps have been detected.

Road Transport Survey

This project, instigated by Australian Rotary Health and supported by beyondblue, involves a collaboration of various transport associated industries including The National Transport Commission, the NSW Transport Workers Union, the NSW Road Transport Authority and the Transport and Logistics Centre, to evaluate the costs and benefits of proactive physical and emotional health screening and treatment in the workplace.

A confidential survey conducted by the University of Queensland was distributed to 3,500 transport workers in NSW.  Findings from this research will guide Australian health in the workplace practices benefiting all employees and employers.
