Spring is here - and so are the higher UV ratings!

A few things you may not know about the risks of sun exposure:

👉 Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world.

👉 Two in three Australians will develop skin cancer before the age of 70 but the damage starts during the younger years

👉 99% of skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet radiation (UVR), too much exposure to the sun.

👉 Around 324,000 non-melanoma skin cancers and 3,700 cases of melanomas are diagnosed each year in Queensland.

Remember to be sun safe, every day.
