Breakfast with the 2024 Australians of the Year 🙌 We were absolutely thrilled to attend the Inspiring Australians Breakfast presented by Auspire – Australia Day Council WA in partnership with Cancer Council WA. The event commenced the Tour of Honour for 2024 Australians of the Year, Professors Georgina Long AO and Richard Scolyer AO. Both groundbreaking researchers at Melanoma Institute Australia, Georgina and Richard shared their stories of witnessing the deadly effects of Australians’ age-old obsession with “getting a tan” —a culture that has led to melanoma becoming Australia’s most prominent cancer. Georgina and Richard have dedicated their careers to saving lives from cancer, curing more than 50% of Australians with advanced melanoma. Their message to all Australians? Prevention is always better than cure. Every 30 minutes, an Australian is diagnosed with melanoma, making it the most common cancer in Australians aged 20-39. Westcare is honoured to support Auspire, with our experienced Westcare Print division providing printing services for this and other events this year. #Westcare #Auspire #AustraliansOfTheYear
