Reliable Sources for Skin Cancer Information

The internet is full of health advice, but not all of it is accurate or trustworthy. That’s why we’ve curated a list of reputable, evidence-based Australian organisations that offer up-to-date, AHPRA-compliant information on skin cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. These sites are reviewed and maintained by expert health professionals and research bodies. If you’re looking to learn more about your skin, sun safety, or treatment options, these are excellent places to start.
Australia’s leading cancer organisation provides comprehensive resources
on all types of skin cancer, including symptoms, risk factors, treatment options, and prevention. Their site also includes sun safety campaigns and national screening guidelines.
Focused specifically on melanoma, this site offers a wealth of information for patients and carers — from early warning signs to treatment pathways. Includes real stories, clinical trial info, and educational tools for self-monitoring.
Developed by Cancer Council
Queensland and QUT, this interactive tool maps cancer rates across Australia. It’s designed for public awareness and research and may be helpful for understanding how skin cancer rates vary by region.
A joint initiative by Cancer Council Victoria and the Victorian Government,
SunSmart promotes UV protection and sun safety through practical advice, seasonal alerts, and school and workplace programs. Excellent for prevention tips.
An Australian government-funded service offering medically reviewed articles on skin cancer symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and when to see a doctor. A good general reference point for health information.
