With the state’s health system already under pressure, SunSmart is pleading with Victorians, including those in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay, not to become complacent with their sun protection.
SunSmart head Heather Walker said Victorians should use sun protection to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer later in life, as well as to avoid sunburn and further presentations to emergency departments.
“As sunburn is completely preventable, it is extremely disappointing to see that last year’s presentations to emergency departments were the second highest in the last seventeen years,” she said.
