ONE NURSE. ONE YEAR. COUNTLESS LIVES CHANGED.

Written By Renee Laurie

Australia has the highest rates of melanoma in the world — and early detection saves lives.


The Australian Skin Cancer Foundation Skin Check Truck delivers free, professional skin checks and education to communities across Australia, especially rural and regional towns where access can be limited.


Since 2023, we’ve achieved:


  • 14,072 full body skin checks

  • 178 suspected melanomas identified

  • 5,000+ non-melanoma skin cancers found

  • 163 towns visited



To keep saving lives, we urgently need to fund a full-time skin cancer nurse.


✅ Cost to fund one nurse for 12 months: $100,000


If your organisation can help, please contact us at info@ausskincancer.org.


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