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.
Our mission is to defeat melanoma—a preventable and curable disease if caught early. With consistently high diagnosis rates in our region, we’re driven to act. It’s a lofty mission but one of hope that keeps us focussed and motivated.
We rely on the support of our community to continue our work. There are many ways you can get involved—whether you donate, become a member, or volunteer at our events, every contribution helps us raise awareness, fund vital programs, and make a real impact.
