The goal of the NSW Cervical Screening Program is to:
achieve optimal reductions in the incidence of, and mortality and morbidity attributed to, cervical cancer, at an acceptable cost to the community
The aims of the Program are to:
- Develop and implement strategies to recruit all women in the target groups to undergo regular two yearly Pap tests, including providing appropriate information and ensuring access to appropriate services.
- Support General Practitioner structures and activities to facilitate their primary role in developing acceptable Pap test services to women.
- Work with laboratories to optimise their role in cervical screening.
- Promote best clinical practice in cervical screening.
- Undertake on-going operations-oriented research, monitoring and evaluation to support and guide the directions of the Program.
