This document outlines Lung Foundation Australia’s priorities for the Queensland state budget 2025-26. Lung Foundation Australia have identified five priorities requiring government action to improve the lung health of Queensland residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. $2.5 million per year over 4 years to expand investment in Specialist Lung Cancer Nurses (SLCNs) in QLD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lung cancer is a leading cause of the burden of disease in QLD. Specialist Lung Cancer Nurses enable timely and coordinated care, contributing to improved health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. $500,000 to address gaps in e-cigarette resources and information for First Nations and CALD young people in QLD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-cigarette use by young people has increased significantly over the last few years. Resources are needed to fill existing gaps that exist for priority populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. $450,000 per year over 2 years to support Queenslanders experiencing long COVID<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long COVID remains an ongoing risk for Queensland residents of all ages and backgrounds. Keeping people well informed about COVID and long COVID will lead to better health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Improve access to pneumococcal vaccination for Queenslanders living with chronic lung diseases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pneumococcal vaccination is clinically recommended for certain lung conditions, but not funded. Free pneumococcal vaccination will allow people to protect their health without added cost-of-living pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. National Lung Cancer Screening Program implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lung cancer is the #1 cause of cancer death in QLD and Australia. Early detection is vital, and the new program will save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
