In 2007, policy work is being carried out on Antenatal screening for Down syndrome and colorectal cancer screening. Implementation options are being considered for a Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Programme.

In December 2006, the report Chlamydia Screening in New Zealand: Report for the National Screening Unit was published by the NSU.  The report was prepared as a contribution towards the development of policy advice regarding screening for chlamydia in New Zealand. Currently the NSU does not run a screening programme for chlamydia.

The NSU is not currently undertaking any work on prostate cancer screening.
