The Aboriginal Well Women’s Screening Program

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program encompasses all of South Australia.  Strong partnerships have been formed over the journey of the program and are maintained, ongoing support is provided to:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait women

We also endeavour to work with general practitioners and specialists in the cancer field.

Changes as a result of the National Cervical Screening Program

There are new screening criteria as a result of the review of the National Cervical Screening Program. We will be undertaking information, health promotion and education sessions with community women and stakeholders around the new screening criteria and changes for a well women’s check.
