Skin Checks

Your best defence against skin cancer

Australia has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world, and melanoma is often referred to as 'Australia's national cancer'. 

  • Anyone can be at risk of developing skin cancer, though the risk increases as you get older.

  • The majority of skin cancers in Australia are caused by exposure to UV radiation in sunlight.

  • Exposure to UV radiation causes 95% of melanomas, the most deadly form of skin cancer.

  • In Australia, 1 in 8 adults and 1 in 5 teenagers are sunburnt on an average summer weekend. Many people get sunburnt when they are taking part in water sports and activities at the beach or a pool, as well as gardening or having a barbeque.

  • Sunburn is also common on cooler or overcast days, as many people mistakenly believe UV radiation is not as strong. This is untrue - you can still be sunburnt when the temperature is cool.

  • Sun exposure that doesn't result in burning can still cause damage to skin cells and increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Evidence suggests that regular exposure to UV radiation year after year can also lead to skin cancer.
