The National Cervical Screening Program reduces illness and death from cervical cancer. Women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74 years of age are invited to have a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years through their healthcare.
If you are eligible for a Cervical Screening Test, you have the choice to either:
collect your own sample using a simple swab (self-collection)
Or
have one of our female healthcare providers to collect a sample.
Talk to your doctor, nurse or health worker about which option is best for you.
