Did you know? Australia has the highest skin cancer rates in the world—and melanoma is the most aggressive form. While the sun is essential for health, excessive UV exposure is a major risk factor. Early detection is critical for effective treatment and better outcomes.
Backed by Science: Studies show that 90% of melanomas are linked to UV exposure (Cancer Council Australia, 2023) and that early detection leads to a 99% five-year survival rate (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2023).
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). It can develop on any part of the body, including areas not regularly exposed to the sun. When detected early, melanoma is highly treatable. However, if left untreated, it can spread to other organs and become life-threatening.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2023), early-stage melanoma has a significantly higher treatment success rate. Regular skin checks ensure early detection and improve health outcomes.
