Commercial solarium ban in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales to begin in new year

Source: ABC News, December 2014

Commercial solariums will be banned from December 31 in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.

A ban is unnecessary in the Northern Territory because there are no sunbed operators.

Western Australia and Tasmania are yet to enforce proposed bans.

According to the Cancer Council, 43 Australians die each year from skin cancer associated with solarium use.
