Cervical screening is an essential tool in preventing cervical cancer – but many people are unsure if, or when, they need a test.

This Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we've teamed up with RANZCOG to develop a guide to help you understand who needs screening, when to see a GP, and how often a Cervical Screening Test is recommended.

The Cervical Screening Test checks for human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes almost all cases of cervical cancer. Detecting HPV early saves lives by helping prevent cancer before it develops. You can choose to have a healthcare provider collect the sample using a speculum and small brush, or you can self-collect the sample using a small swab. Both options are equally as accurate at detecting HPV.

💬 If you are experiencing symptoms you are concerned about, or are unsure what applies to you, speak with your GP.
