The Skin Prevention Strategic Plan 2001-2005 - PDF focuses on six key settings for sun protection initiatives:

  • primary schools
  • secondary schools
  • children's services
  • outdoor sport and recreation
  • workplaces
  • local government

NSW Health has an inter-agency focus for this work through the Sun Protection Inter-agency Group (SPIAG). Key partners on this group include:

  • The Cancer Council NSW
  • Department of Local Government
  • Department of Community Services
  • Department of Sport and Recreation
  • Workcover NSW
  • Department of Education and Training
  • Catholic Education Commission
  • and the Association of Independent Schools.

Working cross-sectorally ensures an integrated and sustainable approach to sun protection across the key settings.
