Queensland is the skin cancer capital of the world, but most cases are preventable 

Queensland has the highest skin cancer rates in the world, but the good news is that it is one of the most preventable diseases through simple sun-safe habits. Skin damage from UV radiation accumulates quietly over a lifetime, meaning that everyday exposures add up over the years. 

This practical factsheet explains the science behind sun safety in clear, simple language. It helps individuals understand their personal risk of skin cancer and addresses common misconceptions about sun exposure, such as the difference between UV radiation and heat, and why sunburn can still occur on cool or cloudy days. 

Designed for easy understanding, this factsheet supports anyone in making informed decisions and adopting safer sun protection habits in their daily life to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

  • Understanding how UV radiation invisibly damages the skin and reflects your surroundings.
