Sun protection required
When the UV level is 3 and above, protect yourself in 5 ways:
- Slip on sun-protective clothing.
- Slop on SPF30+ broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards.
- Slap on a hat that protects your face, head, neck and ears.
- Seek shade.
- Slide on sunglasses - make sure they meet the Australian standard.
