Prevent cervical cancer

Did you know that every two minutes, someone loses a loved one to cervical cancer? But did you also know that cervical cancer is preventable? With changes to our National Awareness and Screening programs, preventing cervical cancer has never been easier.

Women can protect themselves and prevent cervical cancer with more choices than ever before:

1. One dose of the HPV vaccine is free for all people aged between 12 and 25 year,  if you missed your chance at school age.

2. Cervical screening tests are now every five years 

3. Women can choose a preferred Screening Method. 

 - To have a doctor or nurse perform a cervical screening test OR

 - Women can talk with their doctor or nurse about choosing to Self-Collect a collect a sample.

After Hours

If you want to see an after hours GP, you can still see a GP in your own home. We recommend calling: Hello Home Doctor – this is 100% Bulk Billing for DVA or Medicare card holders.

Phone: 13 41 00 for Hello Home Doctor. 
 

Otherwise, the Doctors at Family Health Care Mackay Group are happy to see you during normal opening hours for all other appointments.

Urgent after hours assistance is available at the Emergency Department at Mackay Base Public Hospital. There is also the Mater Emergency After Hours Service located on Willets Road, North Mackay. This is a walk-in service only and fees apply.
