cervical, uterine, vaginal, and vulval cancers.

Why Awareness Matters

Every day, women in Australia are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. Early
recognition of symptoms and timely medical support can make a significant difference in
outcomes.

Symptoms to Look Out For

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Bloating or feeling full quickly
• Changes in bowel or bladder

Prevention and Early Detection

• Cervical Screening Tests (CSTs): Essential for women aged 25–74.
• HPV vaccination: Protects against the virus responsible for most cervical cancers.
• Regular GP check-ups: Especially if symptoms or family history are present.
