This Women’s Health Week, start the conversation about cervical screening 💜 Learn more: http://www.cancer.nsw.gov.au/.../scree.../cervical-screening

A future without cervical cancer starts with prevention, and cervical screening is one of the most effective ways to protect your health 💜

If you're a woman aged 25 to 74, you only need a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years. You can choose the screening option that suits you best: a doctor or nurse can collect your sample, or you can self-collect using a simple vaginal swab.

Even having just one Cervical Screening Test can provide significant protection compared to never being screened.

This start a conversation about cervical screening with the women in your life.

Diphtheria is a contagious bacterial infection. In severe cases, it can cause serious complications and make people very unwell.

Hepatitis Awareness Week, so get the facts and take the next step to protect yourself.
Hepatitis is a viral liver infection, and the 3 most common types are A, B and C. In Australia, more than 400,000 people are living with Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, and many remain undiagnosed.
Many people do not experience any symptoms, but some may experience:
- fever
- feeling tired
- nausea
- diarrhoea
- loss of appetite
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
If you experience any symptoms of hepatitis, don’t wait. Talk to your doctor straight away.
Living with Hepatitis B or C? Talk to your doctor about a liver health check-up once a year, even if you feel healthy and well.

Today is World Hepatitis Day. Hepatitis is a group of illnesses that damage your liver.
Today we’re asking what the health is hepatitis B?
Let’s find out with Dr Chris Bourne.
Most people with chronic Hepatitis B do not have symptoms until the disease has caused serious liver damage. The best way to find out if you have it is to ask your doctor for a test.
If you are living with chronic Hepatitis B, check your viral load at least once a year through your GP, even if you aren’t taking medication for it right now.
