MIA is an independent, non-profit organisation located in North Sydney. The Institute is formally affiliated with the University of Sydney and collaborates with clinicians at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Royal North Shore Hospital, Westmead Hospital and St Vincent’s and Mater Health to improve the outcome of patients with melanoma.

The Institute has become a major referral centre in Australia, and the care and research conducted by the Institute is widely regarded as world-class.
