Participant Portal
The Participant Portal (the Portal) allows people who are participating in bowel, cervical or lung cancer screening to update their personal details, manage participation, update communication preferences, and view screening information.
Accessing the Portal via myGov
The Participant Portal is accessed by linking the National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) to your myGov account.
- Log in to your myGov account.
- Select “View and link services"
- Choose National Cancer Screening Register from the list of available services.
This process is the same as linking other government services, such as My Health Record, the Australian Taxation Office, or Medicare.
