## TL;DR

New Zealand's bowel, breast and cervical screening programmes are free for eligible people; Time to Screen is the one site that covers all three.

## Summary

Time to Screen is the public face of New Zealand's National Screening Unit. It covers the National Bowel Screening Programme (a free home test for the eligible age range), BreastScreen Aotearoa (free mammograms) and the National Cervical Screening Programme (HPV testing, including self-testing, free for eligible groups). Each programme page states the current age range and who is eligible, which has changed in recent years as programmes have been extended.
