Its AFL finals fever! The Ballarat Skin Cancer Centre staff will be participating in Footy Colours Week from Monday 12th September to Thursday 22nd September raising funds for kids with cancer. Staff will be getting into the spirit by wearing their beloved AFL team colours. All patients are encouraged to wear their team colours to their appointments. 

Every dollar donated goes towards funding Fight Cancer Foundation’s education support programs, which helps kids with cancer keep up with school while receiving and recovering from life saving treatment. 

If you wish to donate to this great cause, donations can be made in reception over the two weeks. We hope to see you around with your footy colours on!

The Ballarat Skin Cancer Centre will be supporting R U OK? Day on Thursday 8^th September. We will encourage all staff members and patients to wear a touch of yellow. Along with this we have a fundraising box with ribbons, pens, and bands to purchase and a morning tea. Please feel free to contribute where you can!

A place where asking the question “Are you ok?’ can really work is in the workplace. As employers or staff, we can all create a culture where people feel confident asking and answering this simple yet important question. Beside our legal responsibility of providing a safe and healthy workplace, these conversations can make a real difference to staff going through a tough time.

Please see that we have placed around the building, some information sheets on how YOU can start a conversation.
