Redesigned CESPHN website
We are excited to announce that we will be launching our redesigned website early next week. We took feedback on board from stakeholders across the central and eastern Sydney region to create a more streamlined and user-friendly website. We hope that you will enjoy the new website and can be contacted for feedback at website@cesphn.com.au.

The National Cervical Screening Program has changed
On 1 December 2017 the National Cervical Screening Program was renewed. The Pap test was replaced by the human papillomavirus (HPV) Cervical Screening Test. Routine cervical screening is now recommended for people aged 25 to 74 years. Please remember that Pap tests are no longer eligible for Medicare rebates - patients may be charged if this test is requested.
