The Skin Cancer Early Detection Service aims to create fairer access to professional assessment and treatment of skin cancer for people who have a skin cancer risk.
Queensland has the highest rate of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers in the world.
Skin Cancer Early Detection (the Service) is a pilot Outreach service funded by the Queensland Government, delivered in priority Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) in Queensland.
The Service works closely with each HHS and other local stakeholders to deliver skin cancer services in rural, regional, and remote locations where such services are limited or non-existent.
The Service is one of three elements of a Skin Cancer Prevention and Early Detection initiative. Other elements are a multi-year state-wide social marketing campaign promoting sun-safe behaviours and local health promotion activities.
