When was the last time you had your skin checked?

Skin cancer can be deadly, but it can be successfully treated if found early.

We know that 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. It is vital that every Australian protects their skin from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation to prevent skin cancer from developing.

Every day you protect your skin, you reduce your risk. Protect yourself in 5 ways:

  1. Slip
  2. Slop
  3. Slap
  4. Seek
  5. Slide

It is also important to regularly check your skin for new or changed spots, every 3 months is recommended. For those at risk they should have their skin checked by a trained doctor once a year.

About 95% of skin cancers are treatable if found early.
