🌟 Prevention Saves Lives — And Australia Is Leading the Way 🌟
A new national report has confirmed that Australia is on track to become the first country in the world to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035 — and it’s all thanks to the power of HPV immunisation and regular cervical screening.
HPV vaccination is one of the most effective tools for cancer prevention that we have. Australia’s early and widespread adoption of the HPV vaccine for young people has played a major role in driving cervical cancer rates down.
"HPV vaccines and timely screening are key to elimination — but we must ensure everyone can access them.”
At Stellar Health Solutions, we are passionate about preventative healthcare, especially through immunisation.
Strong vaccination programs protect communities today — and reduce cancer risk for generations to come.
💛 If you or your young person is due for the HPV vaccine, now is the perfect time to book in with us.

Prevention really is powerful.
A new report shows Australia is on track to become the first country to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035.
The 2025 report, released this month, from the Centre for Research Excellence in Cervical Cancer Control confirms rates of cervical cancer among Australian women continue to fall.
In 2021, the national cervical cancer rate decreased to 6.3 per 100,000, compared to 6.6 per 100,000 in 2020.
However, for Indigenous women, the rate is higher at 11.7 per 100,000 in 2017-2021.
Furthermore, the proportion of people who are up-to-date with screening has now declined for the second consecutive year (2023 and 2024).
There are now more than 1 in 4 eligible women overdue for cervical screening.
“Australia’s early adoption of HPV vaccines for girls and young women and timely switch to cervical screening rather than Pap smears have us well on track to achieve elimination and save more lives,” says Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care Rebecca White in a media statement.
“But we must continue to improve equitable access to maintain rates of HPV vaccination and make sure everyone has access to cervical screening.”
