“For every body under the sun” - Conquering Skin Cancer is officially in cinemas NOW!
Conquering Skin Cancer is not your average documentary; it’s a compelling social impact film with a mission to prevent skin cancer.
In a country where the “bronzed Aussie” image has led to more skin cancer deaths than the national road toll, the World Health Organisation predicts a staggering 68% increase in melanoma deaths by 2040. But this is not set in
stone. And although Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world (@cancercouncil ), most skin cancers can be prevented.
Weaving together compelling and emotional stories from survivors, advocates, and world-leading experts, the second instalment in the international Conquering Cancer Campaign delves into how every body can live safely under the sun.
Conquering Skin Cancer features prominent and beloved voices in this important space. Faces you might recognise include 2024 Australians of the Year Professors Richard Scolyer and Georgina Long, Australian media icon Deborah Hutton, Olympian Cate Campbell, World Champion Surfer Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, and beloved Australian actor Hugh Jackman.
Inspirational activists such as Jay Allen (Australia Skin Cancer Foundation), Tamara Dawson (Melanoma and Skin Cancer Advocacy Network), Scott Maggs (Skin Check Champions) and Anne Gately (Author, “Sunburnt”) also feature, sharing their personal stories in the pursuit of positive change.
Featured Cast: Hugh Jackman, Cate Campbell, Deborah Hutton, Costa Georgiadis, Georgina Long, Richard Scolyer, Wayne Bartholomew, Mike Hill, Sue Collins.

Happy National Skin Cancer Action Week!
We live in a sunburnt country. As a result of the “bronzed Aussie” image, we have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with more skin cancer deaths each year than the national road toll.
Two in every three Australians will get skin cancer in their lifetimes - but this is not set in stone.
And better yet, most skin cancers are entirely preventable.
National Skin Cancer Action Week reminds us that we need to do more to promote proper sun protection and sun-smart practices, because the best treatment is prevention.
This week, start conversations about how your behaviours have changed to be more #sunsafe. Let`s kick it off in the comments below! 💪
Looking for the perfect starting point? Grab your tickets to `Conquering Skin Cancer`, in cinemas from November 20th- link in bio. 💛

Stage 4 melanoma but no surgery, no lymph nodes removed, and a full recovery from a skeleton riddled with the disease- astonishing. And all thanks to immunotherapy treatment.
The wonderful Anne Gately (and star in Conquering Skin Cancer) is a passionate skin cancer awareness advocate and is also one of the lucky patients who responded incredibly well to immunotherapy.
Anne is now passionate about skin cancer prevention and sharing her story in her book ‘Sunburnt’ to spread the message to all Aussies and beyond- a tan isn’t worth the risk. Be sun smart!
See Anne’s full story in ‘Conquering Skin Cancer’, in cinemas from the 20th November - get your tickets now through our conqueringskincancer.com.au or through the link in our bio 💛

What a night! 🎥🍿✨ The Sydney Premiere went off without a hitch. The night was star studded, and such a wonderful opportunity to catch up with participants and sponsors along with a great crowd eager to see the film and help share its message.
One of the nail biting experiences in filmmaking is putting the film out into the world not knowing how people respond. There’s a great deal of trust participants put in us to share their stories on the big screen and portray them accurately. And we can report that the reactions were overwhelmingly positive and the reviews have been a resounding thumbs up! 🤩
We also had a brilliant panel of experts and advocates for the post session Q&A featuring Jay Allen (Australian Skin Cancer Foundation), Anne Gately (Author, ‘Sunburnt’), Liz King (Cancer Council NSW), and Dr Adriene Lee (President of the Australasian College of Dermatologists)- thank you all so much for your stories, knowledge, and support.
Another fabulous premiere was also happening at the same time, but all the way over in Perth! @CancerCouncilWA put on a fantastic event, and we’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews since. On the Perth panel was Sally Blane (Cancer Council WA, Kate Bouchard (Dermatologist), Mark Lane (SurfingWA), and facilitator Matthew Gorvorko (kNOw Workplace Cancer Coordinator).
We just have one more premiere to go in Brisbane next week, before Conquering Skin Cancer will be coming to a cinema near YOU! Book your tickets now through the link in our bio, or head to our website conqueringskincancer.com.au. We cant wait for you to see it! 💛☀️
