Advocacy: Winning on solarium bans – insights and the inside story from NSW

This pre-conference workshop will trace the process that led to New South Wales (NSW) being the first jurisdiction in Australia and the second in the world, to introduce a ban on commercial solaria.

The workshop will involve key people involved in securing the ban, including Cancer Council NSW, individuals who campaigned for the ban, and departmental staff involved in regulating solaria. The workshop will include discussions and activities to help participants identify where they are on the critical path to stronger regulation and to develop ideas for their next step.

Facilitated by Ms Anita Tang, leading advocacy advisor and campaign coach, this workshop is sponsored by Cancer Council NSW in co-operation with Cancer Council Victoria.

A working lunch and afternoon tea will be provided.
