C4 celebrates the commencement, as of July 1, 2022, of the new National Cervical Screening Program Policy that makes vaginal self-collection a choice for all people eligible for cervical screening in Australia. C4 investigators are proud to have provided research, modelling, clinical, policy and implementation science expertise and input which has helped informed this policy change and clinical guidelines to support it. We hope to see this option support more people to participate in the program and, in so doing, accelerate Australia’s progress towards the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem.
