Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—having a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years allows for early prevention and detection. Since the National Screening Program began in 1991, incidence and death from cervical cancer has halved in Australia.

A Cervical Screening Test prevents cervical cancer by detecting the human papillomavirus (HPV). Screening identifies women at risk of eventually developing cervical cancer, so they can be monitored and treated accordingly.
