National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week 2016 was held from November 7-13 2016. The week aims to raise awareness about cervical cancer and encourage Australians to engage in the conversation about cervical health. As well as creating conversation, funds from the week went towards our CerviCAN Support Program. In 2017, our focus was to raise funds for the appointment of a Cervical Cancer Support Coordinator to provide support for Australian women and families affected by cervical cancer.
What’s happened in Awareness Week 2016?
