Incidental sun exposure adds up. That’s why it’s important to protect your skin when you’re out and about to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. Remember to:
👔 Slip on a shirt: pack a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt in your car for spontaneous outings.
🧴 Slop on sunscreen: leave a bottle of broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 50+ sunscreen by your front door or next to your keys to grab and go.
👒 Slap on a hat: store a wide-brimmed hat in your car boot or backpack to grab whenever you head out.
🌳 Seek shade: keep your eyes peeled for shade during breaks or outdoor activities. 🕶️ Slide on sunnies: having a pair of sunglasses in your everyday bag means you’re always ready to protect your eyes.
💡Top tip Set reminders on your phone to reapply sunscreen! Share your SunSmart tips in the comments!

⚠️ Measles alert for Brisbane, Gold Coast and Wide Bay. ⚠️

There have been three cases of measles in people who attended the Jelly Roll concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday, 24 October 2025.

These individuals also spent time in a number of locations in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Wide Bay areas while unknowingly contagious. If you attended the Jelly Roll concert on Friday, 24 October, please be alert for any measles symptoms.

There have also been two other measles case confirmed in Central Queensland and the West Moreton regions this week, unrelated to this concert.

The list of exposure sites and times is being regularly updated. For a full list of exposure locations, visit: https://www.health.qld.gov.au/newsroom/alerts

Members of the public who were in these areas, on these dates, need to be alert for symptoms of measles for up to three weeks from the exposure date.

The initial symptoms can include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash which often starts on the face and then becomes widespread over the body.

If you have any of the measles symptoms, contact your GP or ED. It is very important to call the medical practice or ED first if you think you might have measles, so that staff can take precautions to avoid spreading it to others.

For more information about the measles virus call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).
