Our mission is to preserve and enhance Australia’s global leadership in sunscreen safety and efficacy by working in partnership with government, unions, industry, health experts, and community organisations.

Workplace UV Safety Education & Skin Cancer Awareness Services
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. The Australian Sunscreen Council helps organisations improve workplace UV safety through education, awareness programs, workplace skin check referrals and access to industry experts.
1. Occupational UV Exposure
Learn how ultraviolet radiation affects workers and why cumulative exposure can increase long-term health risks. Our education programs help employees understand occupational UV exposure and practical ways to reduce risk both on and off the job.
3. Outdoor Worker UV Protection
Designed for construction, council, transport, agriculture and field-based teams. Topics include protective clothing, shade, sunscreen use, work practices and other measures that support outdoor worker UV protection and workplace safety.
5. Workplace Skin Checks
Early detection plays an important role in reducing the impact of skin cancer. Learn about skin cancer warning signs, regular skin checks and how workplace programs can support employees in monitoring their skin health.
2. Skin Cancer Awareness
​Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Education sessions help workers recognise risk factors, understand warning signs, and appreciate the importance of prevention, awareness and early medical advice.
4. Office Worker UV Exposure
Many office workers underestimate incidental UV exposure from commuting, meetings, site visits and outdoor activities. These sessions increase awareness and encourage practical sun-safe behaviours that can help reduce cumulative exposure over time.
6. Building a UV Safety Culture
Creating a safer workplace requires more than individual behaviour change. Education can help organisations strengthen workplace UV safety policies, encourage leadership support and build a culture that promotes long-term sun protection practices.
