Each day, our researchers and graduates are tackling global health issues and striving to improve equity in communities both locally and around the world. At the forefront of cancer control, Professor Karen Canfell and her team play a pivotal role in supporting policy, practice and decision-making for innovative cancer solutions. Their groundbreaking work has led to the transformation of Australia’s National Cervical Screening Program, which transitioned to HPV testing in 2017, positioning Australia as the first country expected to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health issue. Professor Canfell's team also leads Compass , Australia's largest-ever clinical trial with 76,000 women— the first trial worldwide to assess cervical screening in an HPV-vaccinated population. Through her leadership, we’re shaping the future of cancer control both domestically and internationally. A key partner in the WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Modelling Consortium (CCEMC) , the team's work on the economic benefits and impact of cervical cancer elimination is cited in the World Health Organization’s strategic plan.
