Sun exposure causes 96% of melanomas and 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers in Australia.
In Queensland, sun protection is a daily necessity, not just a summer habit. UV levels across the state reach 3 and above even during the cooler autumn and winter months. This is because UV radiation is invisible, causing skin damage even on completely overcast days without obvious warning signs.
This high-visibility poster provides a simple reminder to check daily UV levels and use the five SunSmart steps to protect your skin before heading outdoors. Designed for shared spaces, workplaces, clinics, and community areas, this poster helps shift sun protection from a weather-dependent habit to a consistent everyday routine.
Readers will Discover:
Why sun protection is important every day, even on cool, cloudy, or overcast days
What the five simple steps that improve everyday sun protection are and how to use them daily
