📢 Together, we’re driving change for melanoma and skin cancer in Australia!
Yesterday, our CEO Gabrielle Byars and Clinical Program Lead Katja Loewe joined clinicians, researchers, and industry partners including and , along with advocates at Parliament House to keep skin cancer firmly on the national agenda.
It was fantastic catching up with Australian Melanoma and Skin Cancer Alliance (AMSCA) members at the Parliamentary Friends of Melanoma & Skin Cancer Awareness Start of Summer BBQ Lunch.
Later, Gabrielle attended MSCAN’s first Thought Leadership Roundtable, bringing together people with lived experience, clinicians, researchers, organisations, and partners to collaborate on solutions.
👏 Congratulations to MSCAN and ACD – The Australasian College of Dermatologists – on launching the National Skin Cancer Scorecard 2025!
✅ The Scorecard shows how Australia is tracking in prevention, early detection, treatment, support & care, with 16 evidence-based measures highlighting gaps and next steps to reduce the burden of melanoma and skin cancer.
Skin cancer is Australia’s most common cancer, taking more than 2,000 lives every year and costing the health system $2.47 billion annually. We can change this—but only if we act together.
