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.”

The networks I have around me are imperative to building successful supports for my clients. I need to work with providers I can trust for the people that trust in me.
A provider began to tell me that they are ONLY an independent. I stopped them there. Only is not a word to use when you are filled with knowledge, integrity, care and good intentions. I will always speak proudly of my networks I have around me. My business is successful due to collaboration, there are NO ONLYS.

LGBTQ+ businesses, or similar to my business, Ataraxy has proudly held a listing for years because I want to advertise my support as an Ally to members of the community 😎

The directory categories include health, advocacy, finance, employment, support groups, social activities, IT and so much more.

It costs nothing to advertise and demonstrate your acceptance. It may mean more than you will ever know to someone that needs to feel it 🩶

Knowledge is empowerment in this space. I found MPD training to be so insightful and also encouraging that my processes are on track. Highly recommend to any peers looking to polish up and upskill.

Many special moments from last night. The speakers were passionate and inspirational. The NDIS participant involvement has to be commended, a true highlight of the evening. Absolutely spoilt with the food and entertainment.

I was very lucky to attend with a table filled with friends, family, parents of participants, staff.... these people are supports in my life for backing me in what I do, sharing laughs, my grumbles, my good and bad days too. We are all people no matter what our job titles or connections are. It was nice to take a night off and be in great company.

The biggest take home I took was the quote "If you think you're having a bad day, there are people who have it much worse than you do." This is where my passion comes from in my ethos for life, in the NDIS space, in my participants lives, my friends, my family. To do right by people and help where you can with integrity, with a smile. Kindness and perspective is everything 🩷✌️

📢 We've updated the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26.

The Pricing Arrangement and Price Limits lists the price limits for supports and any requirements related to claiming those supports. We regularly make changes to these documents to ensure that pricing and claiming guidance is in line with current policy.

The updates take effect on 24 November 2025.

By sharing this information earlier, we're helping to ensure:

👉 participants and families have more time to plan their funding

👉 providers have more time to prepare their services.

We have also released a new Operational Guideline for Therapy Supports.

Ataraxy Support Services is incredibly proud to sponsor The Christmas Party Adelaide once again. This marks my third year as a sponsor, and I feel truly privileged to be in a position to support such a special event.

I absolutely love seeing the joy on the kids' faces as they enjoy a day filled with fun — from games and activities to cosplayers, Santa, and the amazing volunteers who bring it all together.

There’s still time to get involved! Sponsorship opportunities are available at various tiers, with all funds helping to bring this magical day to life and supporting the incredible work of Make-A-Wish Australia

♿️Parking Permits in SA
Individuals with cognitive, behavioral, and neurological disabilities — such as autism, brain injuries, or dementia — are now eligible to apply for a permit. For the first time, passengers who are legally blind also qualify.
These changes acknowledge that many disabilities are not immediately visible 🌻

🚗 South Australia has introduced important changes to the Disability Parking Permit (DPP) scheme, expanding eligibility from 1 July 2025.
People with cognitive, behavioural, and neurological disabilities - including those with autism, brain injuries, or dementia — can now apply for a permit. Legally blind passengers are also eligible for the first time.
These updates reflect a growing recognition that not all disabilities are visible. The changes follow earlier reforms in the ACT and show a national shift toward more inclusive and accessible parking policy.
If you manage buildings, facilities, or car parks, this is the time to review how your accessible bays are managed and protected.
