We’ve been running the Improve Your Long Game program in WA since 2022, and in that time, we’ve helped more than 65 golf clubs reduce the risk of skin cancer for players.

We’ve distributed more than 1,700 resources including sunscreen stands, over 400L of sunscreen, informational posters and flyers, as well as attending events such as the SportWest Industry conference to support the wider sporting space.

Thank you to all the clubs who’ve helped us spread the message of sun safety among WA golfers and their spectators 💛

Is your golf club SunSmart? ⛳ Improve Your Long Game is a free program dedicated to improving sun protection for golfers. It provides sunscreen on the 1st and 10th tee, along with valuable resources, information and support to help players reduce their risk of skin cancer.

If your club is in WA and wants to get involved, fill out the form and we’ll be in touch!

Earlier this month our SunSmart WA Manager Sally Blane presented at the Preventative Health Conference 2026 in Hobart, hosted by the Public Health Association of Australia 👏

It was so wonderful to share our work developing SunSmart messaging and assets for young West Australians, lead by The Kids Research Institute Australia and funded by Healthway as well as learning from experts in the field. This year’s conference theme was ‘sustaining prevention’. Love your work Sal!

The 2026 SunSmart Design Challenge is well and truly underway, and the competition is fierce among the students.

Our Policy & Advocacy Coordinator Ros Natalotto, our friends at Curtin School of Design and the Built Environment and Claire Trolio from Ruck Rover General Store have been busy today providing guidance and support to students, helping them to finalise their SunSmart fashion designs.

Here's a sneak peak of what could be in the running for 2026.... 👀

Wishing Busselton Festival of Triathlon a very happy 25th birthday and a massive thanks for so much support of the SunSmart message over the years - those photos bring back great memories! Good luck to all the competitors this weekend, and a shout out to the spectators, officials and volunteers. Sun protection is needed in Busso from 10:20 am to 2:10 pm. 😎

Are you a bit of a history buff or triathlon aficionado? Make sure you stop by the 25 Year History Tent in the Expo area to explore memorabilia and pictures from years gone by, sign your name in the BFOT guest book, and enjoy a few fun throwbacks that show just how much our sport, equipment, taste in race day fashion, and the Busselton Festival of Triathlon have evolved over the years.

You’ll also find some fantastic athletes in the History Tent across the weekend, ready to share their experiences in the sport and talk you through the memorabilia on display.
