Official Australian sun protection guidance is available through Cancer Council Australia and the SunSmart program. Their "Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide" protocol advises skin protection when the UV Index reaches 3 or higher.

Official Australian guidance on sun protection is provided by federal and state health departments, national cancer charities, and the Bureau of Meteorology. You can access recommendations, daily UV forecasts, and five core protective stepsโ€”clothing, sunscreen, broad-brimmed hats, shade, and sunglassesโ€”on government health websites and public health mobile applications.
