Screen EQUAL

Do you support a person with intellectual disability aged between 25 and 74 years with a cervix? We need you to trial our new accessible cervical screening resources!

Our team is proud to share our new protocol paper, published in Frontiers Public Health.

Together, we can make cervical screening easier for people with intellectual disability!

We had the pleasure of attending the SHFPACT (Sexual Health & Family Planning ACT) Safer Girls Safer Women Big Meeting.

It was a privilege to talk about Screen EQUAL with the attendees and to listen to the amazing speakers and performers.

This week is Cervical Cancer Awareness Week.

ScreenEQUAL wants to help more people with intellectual disability to
* participate in cervical screening
* have a positive experience with the test

You can speak to your GP, Family Planning Australia and other trusted health workers to learn more about cervical screening.

This week is Invisible Disability Week.

Iva and Julie share their stories in Easy Read information about our experiences.

Thank you Iva and Julie for sharing your stories.

Cervical Cancer Awareness week is coming up.

Screen EQUAL wants to make cervical screening better for people with intellectual disability.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—having a Cervical Screening Test every five years is the best way to prevent it.

Mark your calendars for 13-19 November.

Our 2023 Cervical Cancer Awareness Week theme is 1 + 5!

What does this mean?

With changes to our national programs, cervical cancer protection is now as easy as 1+5.

All that is required is:

One (1) dose of HPV vaccine for young people

+

Cervical screening every five (5) years for women and people with a cervix from age 25–74 years.
