Clinical Resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in Victoria

In the 2023-24 financial year, the ACPCC, in collaboration with Primary Health Networks, Cancer Council Victoria, and the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO), distributed over 2000 clinical towels and almost 3000 self-collection kits to more than 40 health services across Victoria. These efforts aim to provide culturally safe and empowering cervical screening opportunities, enhancing cervical cancer outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Dedicated education sessions and webinars have been pivotal in increasing awareness and participation in self-collection methods, reflecting the ACPCC’s commitment to improving healthcare accessibility and quality for these communities.
