💸 Want $40 for doing something good for your health? Yes please. 💁‍♀️
If you’re 25+ and have a cervix, Family Planning NT wants you — and no, not for anything weird.

Let's help train our fellow RN/RM's in cervical screening by getting them some real legends to volunteer for a clinician‑collected cervical screening test.

You get:
💵 $40 cash
🩺 A proper cervical screen
😇 The satisfaction of helping train the next generation of health pros
✨ Bragging rights for doing something responsible AND getting paid for it

You DON’T need to be due for your screen.
You DO need to be comfortable with a trainee doing the test.
And nope — don't worry if you’re pregnant or on your period as you can still assist.

Dates Required 🗓 19–20 March 2026

What’s been trending on AusCAPPS?
Our community shared practical tips and insights on real-world challenges last month, like recovering IUD strings, making sense of over-the-counter FSH menopause tests for long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) users, and managing patient expectations around early medical abortion during holiday travel.

These conversations show the power of clinicians learning from each other.

Don’t get caught under the mistletoe without the right protection.

STIs are common, often go unnoticed and can cause serious damage if left untreated. Getting tested regularly and wearing condoms or dams during s*x is the best way to protect yourself.

Always pair your condom with water-based l**e to prevent friction and breakages.

Sexual health checks should always include blood tests for syphilis and HIV. Speak to your GP, Aboriginal Health Service, Adelaide Sexual Health Centre or SHINE SA to book a s*xual health check today.

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.”
