Behind Test Out West

In NSW, women aged
25-34 from western and south-western Sydney have the lowest rates of cervical screening compared to the rest of the state.

Test Out West is an initiative led by Family Planning NSW, funded by the Cancer Institute NSW, which aims to engage people in the western suburbs of Sydney on this important topic.

Acknowledgments

Young women from western Sydney have played a key role in the planning, development and implementation of this project.

Their input has been vital in producing content that is relatable and relevant to themselves and their peers.

This project was also undertaken with the assistance of a stakeholder advisory committee comprised of the following organisations:

Blacktown Women’s and Girl’s Health Centre
Cancer Institute NSW
Family Planning NSW
South Western Sydney Local Health District
Western Sydney Local Health District
Western Sydney University
Wilma Women’s Health Centre

We thank all those involved for their contributions and support.
