Protect yourself in five ways from skin cancer

In December 2006, the Federal Government implemented the first government funded national skin cancer mass media campaign.

Protect yourself in five ways from skin cancer comprises print, radio and television advertisements show the real life operation of a 22 year-old Sydney woman having surgery to remove a melanoma from her back.
The campaign targets teenagers and young adults, who have the worst sun protection behaviours and the highest frequency of sunburn.
