For over 35 years, the Hunter Melanoma Foundation has been dedicated to reducing melanoma mortality rates through community education, patient support, local research and life-saving awareness initiatives.
As a small local charity, we receive no ongoing Government Funding for our projects. We rely on the community to fuel our mission to defeat melanoma. Every dollar makes a real difference, and here’s how.
With your help, over the past 35+ years, we’ve been working to defeat melanoma—and we know the work we’re doing is making a real difference. But there’s still much more to do.
In the Hunter New England Local Health District, melanoma is now the second most diagnosed cancer (Cancer Institute NSW, February 2024), underscoring the urgent need for continued awareness, early detection, and prevention.
Nationally, melanoma remains the most common cancer among Australians aged 20 to 39. Your donation and ongoing support allow us to continue this life-saving work—funding education programs, supporting patients, and advancing research to reduce the impact of melanoma in our community.
