Description
National Skin Cancer Action Week raises awareness of skin cancer and sun protection issues at the start of the summer season. Hosted by the Cancer Council in conjunction with the Australasian College of Dermatologists, it runs from November 16-22 and involves a number of educational and promotional initiatives.
Olympic gold-medallist Alisa Camplin, AOM, supports National Skin Cancer Action Week in 2008. The aerial ski jumping champion is diligent about applying her ski-field sun protection routine to her summer outdoor habits.
“Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, but this disease is easy to prevent. All Australians should remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide before going out in the sun.”
