Cervical Screening Integration Grants

The purpose of these grants is to support eligible organisations to design and deliver tailored initiatives that increase access to and uptake of cervical screening among priority populations.

The objectives of the Cervical Screening Integration Grants are to increase equitable access to and uptake of cervical screening by:

• Integrating cervical screening into existing health services
• Identifying and reaching never-screened and under-screened women and people with a cervix aged 25–74 years eligible for cervical screening with a focus on people from priority populations
• Implementing innovative models for cervical screening that consider cultural, practical, financial and/or systemic barriers.

To be eligible for funding:

• The lead applicant must be directly able to provide, or partner with another health service to provide, cervical screening services as outlined in the National Cervical Screening Program Clinical Guidelines.
• The proposed cervical screening service provider must be able to access cervical screening history and eligibility via the National Cancer Screening Register.
• All obligations regarding previously Cancer Institute NSW funded projects involving the lead applicant must have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Institute. Such obligations include the provision of satisfactory progress, final and financial reports.
• Recipients of a current Cancer Institute NSW grant, and/or partnering organisations on a current Cancer Institute NSW grant are eligible to apply.
