Benefits of the New Screening Test
What is a Cervical Screening Test?
The Cervical Screening Test (CST) replaced the Pap Smear in Australia in 2017.
While the procedure feels similar, the science is different. The old Pap smear looked for abnormal cells on the cervix. The new CST looks for the HPV virus presence itself. If your HPV test GP result is negative, it means you are safe and don’t need another test for 5 years. It is the most effective tool we have for a cervical cancer check, saving thousands of lives annually.

Health Questions, Answered
The pathology lab test itself is often bulk-billed (free) for eligible Medicare cardholders if done when screening is due. However, the GP consultation incurs a standard private fee. Please check our fees page. Standard appointment will suffice for CST alone. If needing further aspects of care discussed please ensure a long appointment is booked.
The examination involved is the same as the pap smear test examination. Most women find it slightly uncomfortable but not painful.
Yes. The vaccine protects against the most dangerous strains, but not all types of HPV, so regular screening is still essential.
It is best to schedule it mid-cycle. However, if your bleeding is light, the test can often still be done—just ask your doctor.
Yes, screening is recommended for all women with a cervix aged 25 to 74. The risk of cervical cancer does not disappear with age or menopause.
