Local skin cancer care centre celebrates

SunLife is celebrating its first year serving the Sunshine Coast Community. With over 3000 new patients seen and over 1000 skin cancers diagnosed, they have a lot to celebrate!

Owned by a local skin cancer doctor and business manager partnership, SunLife was created with patient care at heart. Their high quality, modern facility was custom designed to provide a full range of skin cancer services under one roof. 

“We started SunLife as a place where patients come first. It is a place patients can trust to find doctors dedicated to skin cancer care, with training, experience, and access to our amazing facilities,” says Joyce Hardy, Director at SunLife. 

“The team at SunLife have worked actively all year, continually improving our systems and all our services. We provide everything from routine skin checks to sun damaged skin treatments, skin cancer treatments and excisions to advanced skin cancer imaging.

“It was fantastic to see the support and thanks for all this work from our local colleagues and community at our recent one-year birthday party.”

Amongst their successes this year, SunLife have installed the world’s most advanced skin cancer imaging system into their imaging suite, VECTRA 3D Total Body Photography.

“Our passion for early melanoma detection and helping people to monitor their skin led us to invest in 3D TBP,” says Dr Simon Hardy

“It is an amazing tool, for people with higher risk, such as those with many moles, personal or family history of melanoma. This imaging provides an accurate way of seeing change to help identify melanoma early.”

One result of all their efforts was to attract a new, experienced skin cancer doctor to move to the Sunshine Coast. Dr Bronnie Hautala moved up from a skin cancer clinic in NSW and has been a hit with her patients. 

The best part is, being new to the area, Dr Bronnie has capacity to take on more new patients. That doesn’t happen often on the Sunshine Coast!
