M E L A N O M A M A R C H ☀️

March is Melanoma March - a month dedicated to raising awareness about melanoma and the importance of early detection.

Australia has the highest melanoma rates in the world. Melanoma is the most common cancer affecting 20–39 year-old Australians, and sadly, someone in Australia is diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes.

The good news? Up to 90% of melanomas can be cured if caught early. Early detection truly saves lives.
At Griffith Medical Centre, we encourage all patients to:
☀️ Get to know your own skin
🔎 Book a professional skin check with your GP
📅 Consider a comprehensive MoleMap at our clinic

If you’ve noticed any new or changing spots, or it’s simply been a while since your last skin check, now is the perfect time to book in.

📞 Call us on 6964 5888 or book online today to schedule your skin check or MoleMap appointment.

Your skin health matters - early detection could save your life.
