“The success of HPV research demonstrates what is possible when science, public health and communities work together. We now have the knowledge and tools to prevent most cervical cancers, and our challenge is to ensure that every person, everywhere, has equitable access to vaccination, screening and follow-up care.” Dr Gina Ogilvie from the University of British Columbia joins an impressive gathering of experts in the field of cervical cancer elimination at ECC2026 in Melbourne, 25-27 November.

Meet the people behind ACPCC's Bowel Screening Participant Follow-Up Function (PFUF) team. Working every day with bowel cancer screening participants and healthcare providers across Victoria, the team supports people who have received a positive bowel screening test result to continue along the screening pathway. Their work helps minimise delays to diagnosis, reduce uncertainty for participants, and improve health outcomes — making an important contribution to bowel cancer prevention and early detection.

Congratulations to our valued partners at the ROSE Foundation on seven years of impact, collaboration and commitment to improving women’s health.

As we reach the midpoint of 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what we've achieved so far this year.
In March, we brought cervical screening into the heart of national decision-making through our event at Australian Parliament House. After starting the day with a breakfast program, we partnered with local providers to offer self-collected tests in the workplace, providing over 60 consultations and 38 self-collected tests to Parliament House staff.
Globally, our partnerships continue to grow. We welcomed UT MD Anderson Cancer Center to the EPICC consortium and formally launched the EPICC program in Malaysia with the ROSE Foundation (Program ROSE), working alongside the Malaysian Ministry of Health to expand access to screening and care. Our canSCREEN Digital team also supported implementation of cervical screening programs in the Solomon Islands, delivering training and on-the-ground support.
Closer to home, we achieved NATA accreditation for the Genius Digital Diagnostics System — an Australian first and a significant step forward in digital cytology and diagnostic innovation.
We're so proud to reflect a period of meaningful progress across policy, practice and partnerships — from local impact to global reach.

Meet the people working in the Australian HPV Reference Laboratory at ACPCC.
Their work focuses on the quality, reliability and performance of HPV testing — from evaluating and validating HPV assays to supporting quality assurance and laboratory practice. The team provides specialist advice, training and technical support that helps laboratories and screening programs maintain confidence in HPV‑based approaches.
Much of this work happens quietly, but it underpins HPV testing systems in Australia and across the Indo‑Pacific — supporting the global effort to eliminate cervical cancer.
