The Requirements for cervical screening (First edition 2023) will no longer come into force on 1 August 2024. This follows the identification of a number of matters relating to the Standard that require further consultation with the pathology sector before it comes into effect. A revised date of effect is currently being considered. Adequate notice will be provided to laboratories once an effective date been confirmed. In the interim, the three existing cervical screening pathology standards (specified below) will remain in force.
The Requirement for cervical screening sets the standards for using human papillomavirus nucleic acid testing as the primary screening method for cervical cancer screening.
