Our Mob and Cancer, developed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, provides information about cancer, including Melanoma.
Studies show that lifestyle factors such as higher rates of smoking and alcohol use, combined with lower participation in cancer screening place LGBTQ communities at greater risk of cancer compared to the general population. Can We is a platform created by ACON, to help each other stay healthy and reduce our risk of cancer.
As people age the likelihood of being diagnosed with cancer increases. For many older adults, a diagnosis of cancer can present particular challenges associated with physical, functional, social or emotional issues. The Older Can resources have been developed to help older Australians living with cancer, and those close to them.
Canteen, Camp Quality and Redkite are working together to provide Cancer Hub. A one-stop shop where families impacted by cancer can easily access the practical and emotional support they need, when they need.
Melanoma Patients Australia recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Australia, and we acknowledge, respect and embrace their continued connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging.
We recognise, value and celebrate diversity and act in the spirit of inclusion.
