A government decision on this recommendation is awaited, but the change could potentially be introduced sometime in 2022. At present, the self-collection pathway is available to under and never screened people aged 30 and over who meet strict eligibility criteria with the test being offered in a consultation by a cervical screening provider.
The implementation of the current self-collection cervical screening pathway has not come without its challenges, with primary care and cervical screening providers being pivotal in the delivery of self-collection. Recognising this, the University of Melbourne (led by A/Prof Julia Brotherton and Dr Claire Nightingale), has been commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health to conduct a consultation and develop an implementation plan to guide the roll out of proposed policy changes. We recognise the critical role that primary care and cervical screening providers play and want to capture your opinion about these changes.
We invite all primary care and cervical screening providers to complete a short online survey using the below link. Completion of the survey should take about 5 minutes. It doesn’t matter whether you have previously provided self-collection or not. If you participate in the survey, you will have the choice to go into the draw to win 1 of 2 $200 Red Balloon Gift Vouchers.
