CONQUERING SKIN CANCER

We are supporting the premiere of ‘Conquering Skin Cancer’  featuring Hugh Jackman which will be screened at the Showbiz Cinema in Ballarat on the 4th February 2025.

The 4th of February is World Cancer Day, on this day Jimmy’s Allsorts are launching their 2025 fundraising campaign. It is time for us to stop and reflect on all of those who have experienced a cancer fight and to recommit ourselves to beating this hideous disease. 

The Ballarat Surgicentre has kindly donated $500 to this worthy cause. If you would like to donate or to purchase tickets, please click the link below and go to events for movie tickets or the donate now tab.

Welcome to 2025!

As we welcome the new year, we need to remember that this period is a crucial time to be SunSmart. In Australia, we’re exposed to some of the harshest and most dangerous levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the world, and need to protect ourselves properly to avoid sunburn, heatstroke and skin cancer.

Always remember to:

  • Slip – on clothing that creates a barrier between you and the sun.
  • Slop – on SPF 50+ sunscreen and reapply every two hours.
  • Slap – on a wide brim, bucket or legionnaire hat, that covers as much of your face and skin as possible.
  • Seek – shade wherever possible. Sitting under a tree, finding an umbrella or shade structure is a great way to protect your skin.
  • Slide – on a pair of sunglasses that are large enough to fully cover your eyes and can provide sun protection from all angles.

Also remember to check the daily UV index rating, which can be found on the SunSmart website and app. UV radiation is the most dangerous form of energy as it causes sunburn, cell damage and skin cancer. The fact that we cannot see it or feel it means we should be especially cautious and always check the UV index daily.
