There is one National Cancer Screening Register record for every Australian participating in the National Cervical Screening Program and the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.
The three main functions of the national register are to:
- send invitation and reminder letters to participants
- provide a safety net for when a person is at risk and who have not attended further testing by prompting them to have follow-up tests
- provide a history of screening results
If you are eligible to participate in Australia’s bowel or cervical screening programs, you can use the national register to:
- review and update your personal information
- check your screening test history and when your next screening is due
- manage your participation.
Call the National Cancer Screening Register on 1800 627 701.
