💗 Robertson Doctor Supports Cervical Cancer Awareness Week 💗

• 

   

  Cervical Cancer Awareness Week is a time for us to spread knowledge, bust myths, and remind every person with a cervix that prevention and regular screening can make a huge difference.

   

  Here are some important facts you may not know:

   

  In Australia, cervical cancer is highly preventable through two key strategies: HPV vaccination and regular cervical screening.

  The current guidelines recommend that people aged 25–74 with a cervix do a Cervical Screening Test every five years.

  Since self-collection kits were introduced (for eligible people), there is now more flexibility in how screening can be done, helping those who may feel uncomfortable or face barriers with clinician-collected tests.

  Australia is working toward a major health goal: eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem by around 2035.

  Here’s how you can be part of the effort (even without fundraising):

   

  Stay up to date with screening. If it’s been a while, schedule your Cervical Screening Test.

   

  Talk openly with friends or family about cervical health — knowing the facts helps more people take action.

   

  If eligible, use the self-collection option — it offers privacy and can help overcome barriers.

   

  Make sure HPV vaccination is up to date according to national guidelines.

   

  At Robertson Doctor, we believe in empowering our patients with information. If you’re unsure about when you last screened, or which option is best for you, come in and we’re happy to discuss what makes sense.

   

  Let’s work together so that cervical cancer becomes history. Because knowledge + action = prevention.
