🌺 Anzac Day 2026 🌺

Tomorrow, we pause to reflect and remember the courage, sacrifice, and spirit of all those who have served and protected our country. We honour the men and women we have lost, and those who continue to serve today.

Anzac Day, observed on 25 April, is one of Australia’s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

We remember their bravery, their mateship, and the legacy they have left behind.

Lest we forget 🌺

☀️ What is Melanoma? 🌤️

Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that starts in the cells that give your skin its colour. While less common, it’s the most dangerous because it can spread quickly if not detected early.

In Queensland, it’s one of the most common cancers in both men and women.

👀 What to look for:
While assessing your skin, you can follow the ABCDE guide (see photo below) to help identify warning signs. If you notice any changes, please let us know and have one of our skin doctors check it for you. When in doubt, always get it checked.

🔍 Main types of melanoma's:
• Superficial spreading – most common, slow-growing at first
• Nodular – fast-growing and more aggressive
• Lentigo maligna – develops on sun-damaged skin over time
• Acral lentiginous – found on palms, soles, or under nails (rare)
• Desmoplastic – firm, scar-like and uncommon

💡 Why it matters:
Early detection greatly improves treatment success.

☀️ What is Skin Cancer & Why Are Skin Checks So Important?

Skin cancer occurs when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably—and here in Australia, it’s incredibly common. In fact, 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer before the age of 70.

There are three main types:
🔹 Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
🔹 Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
🔹 Melanoma

While BCC and SCC are more common and often referred to as non-melanoma skin cancers, melanoma can be more serious if not detected early. There are also rarer types that require specialised care.

💡 Why early detection matters
Unlike some other cancers, skin cancer doesn’t have a national screening program—so regular skin checks are essential. Detecting changes early can make treatment simpler, more effective, and often less invasive.

👀 Know your skin
Keep an eye out for any new spots, changes in existing moles, or anything that doesn’t heal—and don’t ignore it.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ At Graceville Skin Cancer Clinic, Dr Norval and Dr Tang are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating all types of skin cancers. Our focus is on early detection, clear communication, and providing the highest standard of care for our patients.

🕶️ Protecting Your Eyes from UV Rays ☀️

Patients often ask what type of sunglasses they should be using — and whether the expensive ones are really worth it.

The good news is, price doesn’t always matter — protection does.

When choosing sunglasses, it’s important to look for:
✔️ A close-fitting, wrap-around style
✔️ Compliance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 1067 (Category 2, 3 or 4) or an Eye Protection Factor (EPF) of 9 or 10

Sunglasses that meet these standards can reduce UV exposure to your eyes by up to 98%, especially when paired with a sun-safe hat 👒

👀 A few extra tips:
• Always check the tag before buying — many stores now offer cost-effective options that don’t need to break the bank
• If you’ve already purchased sunglasses, you can check the brand, code, or store you bought them from
• If you have prescription sunglasses, check with your optometrist that they are Category 3 or above

Taking simple steps like this can help protect your eyes and support long-term eye health. 👀👏

If you have any questions about eye care or sun protection, feel free to speak with our team at Graceville Clinic 📞 07 4124 2466 🩵

✨Making Your Skin Checks Easier at Graceville Clinic! ✨

We’re excited to introduce our brand new Make-Up Removal Station at our Graceville Clinic! 💄

For patients attending skin checks or procedures, this space allows you to comfortably and conveniently remove make-up prior to your appointment—helping ensure the most thorough and accurate care possible.

To help us provide you with the best possible skin check, we kindly ask that you:

• Wear loose, easy-to-remove clothing and minimal jewellery
• Avoid wearing makeup or foundation
• Do not apply body lotion, strong perfumes, or deodorants
• Avoid shaving your legs for a couple of days prior, as this can cause irritation or small cuts

If you have noticed any areas of concern, please be sure to point these out to your doctor. This includes moles that have changed in appearance, become painful, or anything that simply doesn’t feel quite right. While your doctor will perform a full skin examination, patients often notice early changes themselves—so please don’t hesitate to speak up. There is no such thing as an embarrassing question.

These simple steps allow your doctor to have a clear and unobstructed view of your skin, ensuring the most accurate assessment possible.

☀️ Not sure what skin cancer looks like? Here are some helpful pointers ☀️

What is skin cancer?
Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the skin. It’s very common in Australia, but early detection makes a big difference.

The three main types are:
• Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – about 2 out of 3 skin cancers
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – about 1 in 3 skin cancers
• Melanoma – less common but the most serious form

📸 Please see below for helpful reference images from the Cancer Council.https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Understanding-Skin-Cancer-2025.pdf

If you notice anything new, changing, or unusual on your skin — don’t wait.

☀️ Stay Sun Safe This Summer in the Queensland Heat! ☀️

Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, often referred to as our national cancer. Around two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime.

In Queensland, UV levels regularly reach 3 or above every day of the year, and skin damage — including sunburn — can occur quickly, increasing the risk of skin cancer later in life. In fact, up to 95% of melanomas are caused by UV overexposure.

📱 Check the UV daily with the FREE SunSmart Global UV App
Stay informed about UV levels wherever you are:
👉 https://www.sunsmart.com.au/resources/sunsmart-app

That’s why it’s so important to make the five SunSmart habits part of your daily routine when UV is 3 or above:
🌞 Slip on sun-protective clothing
Choose clothing that covers as much skin as possible, such as collared shirts, elbow-length sleeves, longer shorts or pants, dresses, and rash vests or t-shirts for swimming.
🧴 Slop on sunscreen
Use SPF 50 or 50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. Apply 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
👒 Slap on a hat
Wear a broad-brimmed, bucket or legionnaire-style hat to protect the face, neck and ears.
🌳 Seek shade
Use available shade whenever possible, especially during peak UV times. Plan outdoor activities with shade in mind.
🕶️ Slide on sunglasses
Choose close-fitting, wrap-around sunglasses that meet Australian Standard AS1067 (Category 2, 3 or 4) to protect your eyes.
