About the NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Strategy
The NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Strategy 2023-2030 (the Strategy) builds on the achievements of the previous two strategies and provides new focus to aspects of skin cancer prevention that require further investment.
Under this Strategy steps will be undertaken to continue to prioritise primary prevention efforts as well as exploring new avenues across a range of populations and priority settings to reduce the incidence of skin cancer in NSW.
A collaborative approach
The development of the goals and objectives of the Strategy was guided by:
- learnings and achievements of the previous Strategy
- the national and NSW policy context, including goals and objectives of the NSW Cancer Plan
- stakeholder and public consultation.
Development of the Strategy involved extensive stakeholder engagement and consultation with member organisations of the NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Advisory Committee and cross-sectional working groups. Key stakeholders from government agencies, non-government organisations and community groups were also involved.
