Melanoma Institute Australia has provided services and support in Perth, Western Australia since it merged with melanomaWA in January 2020.

Melanoma Institute Australia WA aims to reduce the impact of melanoma in the WA community. We support people living with melanoma and their carers, families and friends, and raise awareness about melanoma prevention in WA. Western Australia is second only to QLD in terms of melanoma incidence across Australia.

We provide the following support, services and programs:

  • SunSafe Student Ambassador Program
  • Awareness activations
  • Nurse Symposium
  • Annual Community Forum
  • Community fundraising
  • Melanoma March
  • Speakers’ Hub
  • Volunteers

In addition, local, regional, and remote melanoma patients have greater access to medical specialists through Melanoma Institute Australia’s network.

Perth Support Group

Our friends at Melanoma Patients Australia are starting a new Melanoma Support Group in Perth. It will be an in-person meeting and will be facilitated by Roy Hallam and Nick Mosenthal.
The Perth Support Group meeting will be held on the last Thursday of each month at 4pm.
We welcome all patients, carers and family members affected by melanoma who live in Perth and the surrounding area.
To attend please register for WA-Perth Support Group on the Melanoma Patients Australia website here.
