Skin cancer in Australia
Over 2,000 Australians die each year from skin cancer, with more than 750,000 diagnosed and treated. Tanning has been imbedded in Australian culture, and is still proving to be a controversial issue, with a large amount of data correlating tanning with increased risk of developing melanoma but continuing to maintain popularity amongst teens and solariums users.〔 Australia has experienced relative success through skin cancer prevention campaigns started in the 1980s, and continues to invest and promote awareness through a variety of government funded mass media strategies.〔 Although Australia still has one of the highest international rates of skin cancer, it has experienced a relative stabilisation of mortality trends in melanoma.〔
== Tanning and skin cancer ==
Australia has long culturally identified with the "bronzed Aussie" stereotype, viewing it as a healthy desirable image and associating it with recreational sporting and exercise orientated life styles. With over 90% of melanomas derived through contact with the sun, skin cancer preventative initiatives in Australia are striving to change this perception.
Solariums and tanning salons are widely used and available throughout Australia. Tanning has been a phenomenon since the 1800s, with medical use of phototherapy, emerging popularity of sunbathing, and in the 1970s, with tanning salons and solariums becoming increasingly popular, had developed into a worldwide tanning industry. Although the tanning industry in Australia is relatively small by international standards, it has quadrupled in size since 1992. The tanning industry promotes tanning as a process to stimulate higher levels of vitamin D, associating it with reduced likelihood of sunburn and skin cancer, with increased well being and feelings of happiness.〔
