Are you due for a cervical screening test?
If you are aged between 25 and 69, have a cervix, and have ever been s*xually active, an HPV screening test every 5 years is the single most effective way to prevent cervical cancer.
Exciting news for healthcare in Aotearoa: from March 2027, routine cervical screening will be fully funded for anyone aged 25–69 with a cervix. Removing financial barriers is a huge step forward for preventive health equity across New Zealand.
Where to access routine screening:
Routine funded screening is completed through your GP, primary healthcare provider, or local s*xual health clinic. Most people can choose between an easy self-swab, a clinician-assisted swab, or a liquid-based sample.
How ASC Gynaecology supports you:
As a specialist gynaecology practice, our clinic works alongside primary care providers. If your screening results show HPV or abnormal cells that require specialist follow-up, colposcopy, or further investigation, your GP can refer you directly to our specialist team.
