Cervical Screening (previously known as a PAP smear) is recommended for all people with a cervix between the ages of 25 and 74. Routine screening should be undertaken every 5 years and is designed to detect the presence of HPV. Participation in the program is one of the most effective ways to detect precancerous changes in the cervix and to prevent the development of cervical cancer.

You may choose a clinician (doctor or nurse) collected sample that is performed by speculum examination and direct sampling of the cervix, or a self collected vaginal swab that samples the upper vagina for the presence of HPV.

If you have an abnormal result you will be followed up more closely or be referred to one of our gynaecologists for a colposcopy (microscope examination of the cervix).
