At 34, Ali was living alone in Melbourne when she received a life-altering call: cervical cancer. Single and overwhelmed, she faced impossible choices—fighting not just for her health, but for her dreams of a future family.

With the support of her mum and a dedicated medical team, she discovered her inner strength. Today, she’s cancer-free and living proof of the power of early detection.

You’re not alone. ACCF is here for you.

During Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, knowing how to reduce your risks is essential. There are several ways, but the most crucial are:
1. Be vaccinated 1. One (1) dose of the HPV vaccine is free for all young people from 12 to 25 years, male and female if you missed your chance at school age.
2. Cervical screening tests every five (5) years for women and those with a cervix from age 25–74 years.
3. Practice safe s*x (condoms) to reduce transmission of HPV
4. Choose not to smoke. Smoking increases your risk of cervical cancer.
