Cancer Council

The Australian Government and Cancer Council are teaming up with sports stars Michael Klim and Brad Hodge to call on Australian men to pick up their sun protection game.

As the weather warms up and UV levels rise, Cancer Council is concerned that Australians are not using adequate sun protection to reduce their risk of skin cancer, with new data revealing that only half (53.9%) of Australians are using three or more forms of sun protection when exposed to the sun during peak UV times.  

Cancer Council welcomes new changes to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program that will mean from today Australians aged 45 to 49 can request their first free bowel cancer screening kit.
