This week is cervical cancer awareness week.
With changes to our National Awareness and Screening programs, preventing cervical cancer has never been easier.
To protect yourself and prevent cervical cancer, there’s more choice than ever before:
One (1) dose of the HPV vaccine free for all young people under 25 years, male and female, if you missed your chance at school age.
Cervical screening tests every five (5) years for women and those with a cervix from age 25–74 years.
Choose Your Screening Method
There are choices:
a. Have your doctor or nurse perform a cervical screening test (Download the cervical screening Comfort Checklist to ensure this method is as comfortable as possible).
b. Self-Collection – talk to your doctor or nurse about choosing to collect your sample yourself.
Don’t wait—book your screening today through our app or website and take control of your health. 🌸

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our Board Chair, Dr Craig White. Craig’s dedication to Family Planning Tasmania was unparalleled, and his impact on our organisation and the cause of sexual and reproductive rights in Tasmania is immeasurable.
At our 50th anniversary celebration last year, Craig shared these words, reminding us of his deep commitment and personal journey with Family Planning Tasmania:
“My own journey and eventual involvement with Family Planning Tasmania were significantly shaped by an encounter during my medical student days. I witnessed a woman in a desperate state, pleading for an abortion, being dismissed and sent away in tears. This harrowing experience left a lasting imprint on my psyche. It highlighted the gravity of the situation and brought to light the struggle and hardship that women had to endure for their reproductive rights. That day, I made a promise to myself – a promise to contribute to the cause, to be a part of the solution. It fuelled my effort, years later, towards the enactment of the 'Access to Terminations Act of 2013'. This Act has been a pivotal milestone in the journey of reproductive rights in Tasmania. It signifies our collective will to ensure the autonomy and dignity of women, highlighting how far we have come since the early days of Family Planning Tasmania.”
Craig’s legacy is woven into the fabric of our mission and will inspire us always.
Our thoughts are with Craig’s husband Rod, and his family and friends at this difficult time. ... See MoreSee Less
