UV Exposure: A Hidden Hazard for Many Australians

Outdoor workers, athletes, and individuals spending extended time outdoors are exposed to significantly higher levels of UV radiation. UV levels remain harmful even on cool, cloudy, or windy days; temperature alone is not a reliable indicator.
The UV Index is the most accurate daily tool for understanding UV intensity and planning proper sun protection.

Whether it’s sunny or overcast, UV exposure remains constant. Staying aware of the UV Index is key to preventing the cumulative skin damage that leads to cancer.

Prevention Through Awareness and Regular Screening

Awareness is your strongest defence. Consistent sun safety habits, combined with routine professional skin checks, can dramatically reduce the risk of developing serious skin cancers. At Canberra Skin Cancer Clinic, we encourage regular monitoring, early reporting of changes, and a proactive approach to skin health. By staying informed and prioritising early detection, we can collectively reduce the burden of skin cancer in our community.

Early detection saves lives. Pairing daily sun-safe habits with routine skin checks is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious skin cancer.
