Australia has established a new cervical screening process based on recommendations by Australia’s independent Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC). This new test regime has commenced on the 1/12/2017.
The new Cervical Screening Test has replaced the existing Pap test. MSAC recommended that the new screening test will be conducted every five years |

for people aged 25 to 74 years. MSAC also advised that - an HPV test with partial genotyping should be undertaken every five years
- cervical screening should commence at 25 years of age
- people should have an exit test between 70 and 74 years of age
- people with symptoms (including pain or bleeding) can have a cervical test at any age

PEN CS has added a new report tab to cover the new screening test. All women will be moved to HPV screening as their pap smear falls due. A woman with a current pap test is up to date. There are 5 segments in the graph: - HPV <= 5yrs - HPV tested within the last 5 years
- Pap <= 2 yrs (no HPV) - Pap tested within the last 2 years but no HPV test done
- HPV>5yrs / Pap>2yrs (no HPV) - No HPV test in more than 5 years/ no Pap test in more than 2 years
- Not Recorded
- Ineligible
- Opted out/No longer requires screening (not available in all CIS)
