SunSmart
Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world. Two in three Australians will develop skin cancer before the age of 70, and every year 1700 people die from this disease.
Being SunSmart is a simple and effective way of reducing your risk of developing skin cancer. Most skin cancers can be treated if found early. It is important that you learn how to check your skin for the early signs of skin cancer.
