Slip!, Slap!, Slop! : 20 Years of Sun Protection in Australia
With the highest rates of melanoma in the world, Australia is a country that has been forced to deal with the reality of sun danger and ozone depletion. While other countries enjoy more protection and- for the moment- lower melanoma rates, rates like those of Australia’s are not far away for the rest of the world. Many look at Australia as a model for what a Sun protection program should be; a place that- out of necessity- has had to deal with this problem, but also a place that can show other countries that they should not wait to improve their own programs. Please join us to learn more about and to discuss sun protection in Australia.
