Free SunSmart Global UV app
UV radiation is dangerous because it’s not like the sun’s light which we see, or the sun’s heat which we feel, so it can be damaging our skin without us knowing.
Our free SunSmart Global UV app puts sun protection advice at your fingertips.
The SunSmart Global UV app provides reliable at-a-glance real-time and forecast UV levels for locations across Australia and the world from reputable and trusted agencies and translates this data into clear, evidence-based health advice from Cancer Council Victoria to recommend sun protection for your location.
It uses forecast information from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and live UV data from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) to provide sun protection times across Australia and the world.
Features
- UV and sun protection alerts each day.
- Option to create unique alerts that suit your schedule and location.
- Access worldwide UV levels which can be tailored to your specific location, providing clear guidance on when sun protection is and is not required.
- Seven-day forecast of sun protection times and weather information.
- Available in eight languages including English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, German, Italian and Russian.
- Live UV levels across Australia and the world.
Using the previous SunSmart app? It’s time to switch to the SunSmart Global UV app!
If you’ve downloaded the previous version of the SunSmart app, delete it from your phone and download our new SunSmart Global UV app for your daily UV and sun protection information. The current SunSmart app will be removed from the app store in July 2023.
