Cervical screening - what you should know
In Australia, the Cervical Screening Test (CST) replaced the Pap smear in 2017. For most people it’s recommended every 5 years from age 25 to 74. In many cases you can now choose to self-collect your sample in a private space at the clinic, or have your GP collect it – both are accurate options. Our GPs can explain what’s right for you.
