Looking after your health means looking after yourself and your family.

Cervical screening is a simple way to do just that. The test checks for HPV (human papillomavirus), a common virus that is linked to most cervical cancers.

The good news? Cervical cancer is preventable, and one test every 5 years is a simple way to look after yourself so you can stay healthy for the people who matter most.

You’ve got choices – you can:
💜 Collect your own sample
💜 Have a doctor or nurse collect the sample

You can even tick it off during your 715 Health Check.

Feel nervous? That’s totally normal and you’re not alone.

Have a yarn with your local Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) or Doctor. They are there to listen to you, help you feel safe, respected, and comfortable every step of the way.

Cervical screening detects Human Papillomavirus (HPV) before it causes cervical cancer.

If you're aged 25 to 74, have a cervix, and have ever been sexually active, getting a Cervical Screening Test every five years is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of cervical cancer.

You can choose to collect your own sample using a vaginal swab in private, or have it done by a doctor or nurse.

💬 Talk to your healthcare provider to discuss what suits you best.
