Draft National Strategy for the
Elimination of Cervical Cancer
The consultation period for this strategy has now closed and your important feedback is being considered and synthesised. The draft strategy is therefore subject to change, and please note that it has not yet been delivered to, nor considered by, the Australian Government.
The project aims to achieve a future free from this preventable disease for all women and people with a cervix across the diverse communities we have in Australia. We have spoken to health experts, representatives of priority communities, and other interested groups to help us develop the Strategy.
Ensuring health equity is the most important principle in this project, as we know that some groups in Australia experience higher rates of cervical cancer disease and death than others. To ensure that these health gaps are closed, this Strategy has been developed with extensive input from priority communities.
