The Cancer Institute NSW is pleased to announce that applications for the Cervical Screening Integration Grants are now open and will close at 12pm on Monday, 8 September 2025.
These grants are funded by the Commonwealth under the National Strategy for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer in Australia and delivered in NSW by the Cancer Institute NSW. Achieving Cervical Cancer Elimination Targets requires increased screening participation, particularly among underserved populations.
Purpose
The purpose of these grants is to support eligible organisations to design and deliver tailored initiatives that increase access to and uptake of cervical screening among the below priority populations by integrating cervical screening into existing health services.
- Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities
- Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities
- LGBTIQ+ communities
- People with disability
Objectives
The objectives of these grants are to increase equitable access to and uptake of cervical screening by:
- Integrating cervical screening into existing health services
- Identifying and reaching never-screened and under-screened women and people with a cervix aged 25–74 eligible for cervical screening with a focus on people from priority populations
- Implementing innovative models for cervical screening that consider cultural, practical, financial and/or systemic barriers.
