Skin Cancer Checks

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Regular skin checks are one of the most effective ways to detect skin cancers early, when they are easier to treat and outcomes are best.

Australians love our outdoor lifestyles and making the most of our gorgeous sunshine - some of the sunniest in the world. At the same time, we have one of the highest non-melanoma skin cancer rates globally. This type of malignancy is the most commonly occurring in the country, with around two in every three of us likely to be diagnosed by age 70. This prevalence means that regular and thorough skin cancer checks are critical.
