SIGN NOW - Protect NSW children from skin cancer
image description
We need 3,000 people to sign by 23 March – Please sign now and help protect our kids.

The NSW Government’s sun protection guidelines for primary schools are failing our children. Did you know the guidelines have not been updated since 1997, and still refer to SPF15+ sunscreen?

Protecting kids from UV rays reduces their future risk of skin cancer. Primary schools deserve up to date advice on how to protect their students, and our children, from the sun.

I expect the NSW Minister for Education to issue an updated, best-practice sun protection policy for NSW primary schools.


We will be in the Minister’s electorate on 23 March to deliver your signatures.
