Michael Clarke AO

Cricket Legend


Michael knows all too well the dangers of skin cancer with a number of cancers removed in recent years. Most recently he had 27 stitches across his chest after being diagnosed with a dangerous Basal Cell Carcinoma. Having been exposed to the sun during his whole career, Michael will help the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation spread all-important sun safe messages.

  • “I am excited to partner with the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation to not only spread the word on skin safety, but to help share the importance of sun protection, getting checked and remembering prevention is better than cure. I know first-hand how important these factors are and am passionate about raising awareness on this vital subject. Everyone needs to be aware of the danger of the sun all around the world, but particularly in this country. This is not just about being safe, this is about saving lives.”

Deborah Knight

TV Presentor + Radio Host

Australian Skin Cancer Foundation is proud to announce that skin cancer survivor and Channel Nine, 2GB radio host Deborah Knight has joined them as a National Ambassador.

Personally, Deb knows all too well the dangers of skin cancer.

  • "If there are changes taking place and a mole or a spot looking different in recent months or years - go and get those regular checks. As a teenager I didn't want to sit under a hat or umbrella with wrap around sunnies, getting a tan was cool and glamorous, but if you come out of a dermatologist's office looking like I do, if it develops into melanoma or skin cancer and it scars, it could be tragic for families.

    If I can encourage one person to get their skin checked, that is a really good thing. I’m honoured to be an ambassador for Australian Skin Cancer Foundation and believe in there mission. “

Braith Anasta

NRL Legend, Tv Host

Braith Anasta is a former NRL star turned media personality and public health advocate. With 288 first-grade games under his belt and a Premiership win with the Bulldogs (2004), he also represented New South Wales and Australia. Since retiring in 2014, he became a prominent Fox League commentator and founded Searoo Sports.

  • “It’s just not worth it, melanoma only needs to get to 1mm deep before tiny cells can spread through your body. Get A Skin Check at least once a year, it could save your life and follow the five sun-safe rules when out in the harsh sun.

    I’m invested in this caring charity, it’s doing great things and this is why I am on board.  More people need to know about melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers and how they develop, so they hopefully won’t get diagnosed.’

    I’m excited to be an ambassador for the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. I believe in their mission and want to help as much as I can, so lives can be saved”

Emma Verran OAM

NSW State of Origin
+ Cronulla Sharks NRLW Player

Olympic gold medallist and Australian rugby league star Emma Verran is not only a powerhouse on the field - representing NSW in State of Origin and the Cronulla Sharks in the NRLW - but also a passionate advocate for sun safety.

After a suspicious mole on her back was flagged during a visit to the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation’s Skin Check Truck, Emma was diagnosed with melanoma. Courageously sharing her experience on social media, she delivered a powerful message to all Australians: “Get a skin check.”

Emma’s openness has sparked important conversations around early detection and skin health, encouraging others not to delay potentially life-saving checks. As she prepares for a second surgery, Emma continues to inspire with her positivity and determination to make a difference.
