There is a new campaign to help you choose how to do your Cervical Screening Test (once called a Pap smear).
If you’d rather not have the test done by a doctor, you can opt for a self-swab at the clinic. It’s quick, private, and something you can do yourself. If you visit your Aboriginal Health Service, it should be free of charge.
Women and people with a cervix aged 25-74 should have a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years.
Talk to your healthcare worker or visit the Own It website for more information.
