"Effective from 1st November 2023, the MBS requirements for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing have changed.

The new items better align with the NHMRC-endorsed guidelines put forward by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and the Cancer Council of Australia in 2016.1

The general recommendation is for those men who decide to have PSA tests to assist in the early detection of prostate cancer to have a PSA blood test every two years from age 50 to 69 years.

PSA testing may also be useful in other situations, such as prostatitis and in the follow-up of patients with known prostate disease."

...no need to try and politicize the issue

Yeah, cos mens health aint importatant. It is political. Its a disgrace. Men are opting out due to the cost. Do you get it? There is a cost of living crisis so lets increase the risk of cancer not be diagnosed.
