- Screening recommendation – Routine rescreen 2 years, Routine rescreen 1 year or Recalled for assessment
- Screening due date (SDD) – Due date for the next screening
If clients have permanent exclusion due to the following conditions, then SDD will be left blank:
- Diagnosed with cancer
- Moved Overseas or Interstate
