Summer in Australia is all about beach days, backyard barbecues and time outdoors — but it also comes with one serious risk many of us still underestimate: skin cancer.

we’re joined by Dr Leona Yip, dermatologist and skin cancer expert, to talk about how Australians can enjoy the sun safely without giving up the lifestyle we love. From sunscreen myths and UV levels to what a proper skin check actually involves, Dr Yip shares clear, practical advice you can use straight away.

We cover why Australia has some of the highest skin cancer rates in the world, how small daily habits make a big difference over time, and what warning signs on your skin you should never ignore. Whether you’re heading to the beach, working outdoors, or keeping an eye on the kids this summer, this is a timely and important conversation.

Sun safety doesn’t mean staying indoors — it means being smart, prepared and informed.
