Pap test reminder letters

It can be difficult to remember when your next Pap test is due.

The Victorian Cervical Cytology Registry keeps a confidential list of Pap test results for Victorian women and will send you a reminder letter when your Pap test is three months overdue, so two years and three months after your last Pap test.

If you don't attend for a Pap test after receiving the first reminder letter, the Registry will send you a second and final reminder nine months later, so three years after your last Pap test.

You can choose to have the reminder letters sent to your doctor or to your home address.
