- Abstract
Cervical screening in Australia is a successful public health initiative.Since the introduction of the National Cervical Screening Program in 1991, there has been a significant fall in incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer.Laboratory quality procedures are critical to ensuring optimal outcomes.Laboratory accreditation procedures are being reviewed in line with recent government recommendations.For a sustainable program, cost‐containment issues need to be considered; screening interval, management of screen‐detected abnormalities, and new technologies are the critical drivers of cost.
