SunSmart program

The SunSmart program is an Australian initiative aimed at reducing the incidence of skin cancer and promoting sun safety. It provides important information about the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and encourages people to adopt protective behaviors, such as wearing sunscreen, hats, and clothing, and seeking shade during peak sun hours. The program also offers educational resources for schools, community groups, and workplaces to create awareness about the importance of sun safety. By fostering a culture of sun protection, SunSmart strives to decrease skin cancer rates and promote healthier skin for all Australians.
