Seeking case studies
We are looking for women in Victoria to be case studies for cervical screening (Pap tests). If you have been affected by cervical cancer or an abnormal Pap test result and would like to share your story then we would like to hear from you. Sometimes it takes a real story from a real woman to inspire behavioural change. Around 90% of cervical cancers are preventable with regular screening, yet only 62% of Victorian women are having Pap tests every two years as recommended.

If you want to inspire more women to get tested by being a PapScreen Victoria case study, please contact Amy Collie for a confidential obligation-free chat on amy.collie@cancervic.org.au or 03 9635 5427. Being a case study would involve participating in interviews about your experience with media such as newspapers, radio and TV.

Update your contact details
When you are overdue for a Pap test, the Pap test Registry will send you a reminder letter. To update your contact details, visit the Registry website or call 03 9250 0399. 

From May 2011 overdue women may receive a second and final reminder letter from the Registry. Read more here.
