Did you know you can now self-collect your Cervical Screening Test using a small swab?

Self-collection is quick, easy, private and just as accurate as a test done by a doctor or nurse.

If you’re due, book in with one of our practitioners to discuss your testing options, including self-collection.

If you can’t get into a clinic, you may be able to book a telehealth appointment and have a self-collected test kit sent to you. Speak to your healthcare provider about this option.

Find out more about self-collection on the website: cancervic.org.au/cervical

Are you due for your Cervical Screening Test?

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers, if found early.

If you’re aged 25 to 74, a Cervical Screening Test every five years is the best way you can protect yourself against cervical cancer.

If you can’t get into a clinic, you may be able to book a telehealth appointment and have a self-collected test kit sent to you. Speak to your healthcare provider about this option.

Book in with one of our practitioners today!
