Congratulations to our very first Australian Skin Cancer Foundation Scholarship recipient, Rhiannon Grange!

We’re incredibly proud to support passionate healthcare professionals who are committed to improving skin cancer prevention and early detection across Australia.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is hearing the outcomes of people who attend our Mobile Skin Check Trucks.

Recently, we received an update from Tom, a farmer from Boorowa in regional New South Wales.

This story is particularly special to me because I witnessed it firsthand.

On behalf of the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation Board, our team, and volunteers, we pay tribute to Professor Richard Scolyer AO — a giant in Australian and global medicine whose contributions to melanoma research, patient care and cancer outcomes will endure for generations.

Recently, our mobile Skin Check Truck 2 made a 3-hour round trip into Southern Sydney to help a gentleman living with dementia whose family were concerned about a growing skin lesion.

After unsuccessful attempts to get him into a clinic due to the distress and confusion it caused him, we brought the care directly to him.

No waiting rooms. No stress. Just compassion, dignity and care.

This is why we keep the wheels turning.

While we missed out again this year, and there still currently remains no ongoing government funding for mobile skin cancer screening services, the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation will continue doing what we do best — showing up for communities right across the country with our two mobile Skin Check Trucks.

Australian Skin Cancer Foundation backs Personal Preventative Maintenance campaign

Crossing the Nullarbor in a brand-new Sitrak truck carrying Australia’s first 3D skin check mobile clinic is not your average delivery run.

For Bob Martin, it was a privilege - and another meaningful chapter in a long connection with Australia’s heavy vehicle industry.

Grateful to The Today Show Extra, on Ch 9,  for highlighting our CEO and founder Jay Allen OAM book recently. 

Thank you David Campbell and Belinda Russell for helping share a message that truly matters.

A SunSafe siren could save lives. If students are reminded to protect their skin at recess and lunch — instead of cooking their skin — we prevent skin cancer before it starts. And that saves lives.

“If a siren helps protect kids and saves even one life, it’s all worth it.”

— Jay Allen OAM, CEO

Together we can bring life-saving early detection to more Australians - one stop at a time.

The first day of summer marks a history-making moment — we have officially launched Australia’s first ever mobile 3D Skin Check Clinic… complete with its own biopsy room!

A further two sunscreens have been pulled from shelves amid sun protection claim concerns. Outside Beauty & Skincare SPF 50+ Mineral Primer and Salus SPF 50+ Daily Facial Sunscreen have been added to a list of recalled sunscreens by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) due to concerns the SPF "may be lower than what is claimed on their labels".

The ASCF Skin Check Truck teamed up with Bendigo Community Bank branches across eight NSW towns, providing free skin checks to locals in Pambula, Bega, Milton, Sanctuary Point, Batemans Bay, Braidwood, Bungendore, and Crookwell.

While the Brisbane Broncos celebrated a huge win on the field, our team was busy off the field providing free skin checks for supporters at the NRL Grand Final.

The truck hit Bondi Beach for the NRL Beach Footy Fest on Saturday, 4 October, offering free skin checks to fans and players alike.

The Skin Check Truck was on-site today at the Lions AFLW, AFL game at Brighton Homes Arena, helping fans stay sun smart and get their skin checked!

Last night, our CEO Jay Allen OAM had the honour of sharing the journey and success of Australia’s Skin Check Truck with the incredible National Skin Cancer Roadmap Team.

Twelve months ago, Dolphins NRL player Oryn Keeley made a quick stop at the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation’s Mobile Skin Check Truck, a decision that proved to be more important than he could have imagined.

Many high profile commentators are suggesting that Australians can identify their own suspicious lesions instead of a full body skin check by an expert. Our CEO speaks to ABC radio to discuss why every Australian needs to get a skin check by an expert.
