Support the 2016 Cervical Cancer
Prevention Campaign
The WA Cervical Cancer Prevention Program (WACCPP) is calling on all stakeholders across WA
to register an activity in support of the 2016 Cervical Cancer Prevention Campaign in November.
The Campaign coincides with National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week (7 – 13 November 2016)
and aims to encourage women to participate in regular cervical screening.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer; however data shows that almost
half of all eligible women in WA are not participating in cervical screening every two years.
Research indicates that there exists amongst women a general lack of understanding of the link
between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer.
Stakeholders such as yourself who register an activity, will help increase awareness of the
importance of regular cervical screening by promoting the following key 2016 Campaign messages:



Currently, the best way to prevent cervical cancer is through regular cervical screening (Pap
smears) every two years
HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer
All women aged 18-69 years who have ever been sexually active, even HPV vaccinated
women, need to undertake regular cervical screening
Organisations that register an activity in support of the Campaign can access a range of resources
and incentive items from the WACCPP free of charge. Full details of available resources and
Campaign items can be viewed in the 2016 Campaign Resource Catalogue.
