Preventative health is one of the most powerful tools we have in women’s healthcare.
Staying on top of routine screenings allows us to detect changes early—often long before any symptoms appear. In this video, I break down 3 essential health checks every woman should be aware of:
◾Cervical Screening: Recommended every 5 years in Australia. Did you know self-collection is now an option at your GP clinic? With routine screening and HPV vaccination, Australia is actually on track to eradicate cervical cancer by 2035!

◾Breast Screening: Regular mammograms via BreastScreen Australia are vital for early detection as you reach the recommended age brackets. Learn more: www.breastscreen.nsw.gov.au
◾HRT Reviews: If you’re prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), a 12-monthly check-in with your doctor ensures your dosage remains safe, tailored, and effective. Learn more: www.aci.health.nsw.gov.au/networks/menopause/resources/service-directory/central-coast
Taking a proactive approach to your health doesn’t have to be overwhelming—it starts with a simple conversation with your doctor.
