Additional Information: The worker attends weekly and can assist or advise on any issues related to Women's Health.

The Pap smear is used to check changes in the cervix (the neck of the womb) at the top of the vagina. It is a screening tool to find early warning signs that cancer might develop in the future. The Pap smear is a simple procedure. Cells are collected from the cervix and placed (smeared) onto a slide. The slide is sent to a laboratory where the cells are tested for anything unusual. If abnormal changes are found at screening, further tests will be done to see if treatment is needed. The Pap smear is not for diagnosing cancer, but rather, for finding early changes which might become cancer. A Pap smear only takes a few minutes. No drugs or anaesthetics are required and it can be done by a general practitioner, nurse or women's health worker. The Pap smear does not check for other problems in the reproductive system including ovarian cancer. It is not a check for sexually transmitted infections. Women who are worried that they may have a sexually transmitted infection should talk to their general practitioner or the nurse about the tests and treatments available

Additional Information: Koolin Balit sets out what the Department of Health, together with Aboriginal communities, other parts of government and service providers, will do to achieve the government's commitment to improve Aboriginal health. It brings together Victoria's total effort in Aboriginal health in an integrated, whole of life framework based around a set of key priorities and enablers. We aim to make a significant and measurable impact on improving the length and quality of the lives of Aboriginal Victorians in this decade.

The government's objectives are to:
•close the gap in life expectancy for Aboriginal people living in Victoria
•reduce the differences in infant mortality rates, morbidity and low birthweights between the general population and Aboriginal people
•improve access to services and outcomes for Aboriginal people.

We will focus our efforts on six key priorities:
1.a healthy start to life
2.a healthy childhood
3.a healthy transition to adulthood 4.caring for older people
5.addressing risk factors
6.managing illness better with effective health services.

Three enablers provide a foundation for the key priorities, and support their achievement:
1.improving data and evidence
2.strong Aboriginal organisations 3.cultural responsiveness.

Koolin Balit builds on the Victorian Health Priorities Framework 2012-2022. Broader, whole-of-government strategies are outlined in the Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Framework 2013-2018.

Additional Information: Australian hearing visits on a three monthly basis.

Hearing tests simply measure what sounds you can and can't hear. Your results are marked on a graph called an audiogram which shows how loud sounds need to be before you can hear them—known as your hearing thresholds. This information also lets us know the degree and type of hearing loss you may have. Hearing loss is measured in decibels (dB), which measure intensity, and pitch in hertz (Hz), which measures frequency. Hearing loss is usually described as mild, moderate, severe or profound.

A full hearing assessment with an audiologist is recommended if a hearing check indicates there may be a hearing loss present.
