## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- Australia has one of the highest rates of **skin cancer** worldwide; prolonged occupational ultraviolet exposure places **outdoor workers** among the highest-risk groups. - A comprehensive legislative framework for workplace **sun protection** exists in Australia, but published evidence shows suboptimal implementation and compliance. - The article highlights a persistent policy–practice gap: laws and policies are necessary but not sufficient to reduce UV risk at work. - Barriers to effective workplace sun protection span individual (knowledge, behaviours), cultural (norms, attitudes toward sun exposure), and organisational (implementation, resources) levels. - The authors argue stronger mechanisms are needed: rigorous enforcement, meaningful penalties, and deliberate efforts to change **workplace culture** around sun safety. - Clinical practitioners — notably **occupational health physicians** and **general practitioners** — have a pivotal role in bridging the gap through identifying at-risk workers, providing targeted education, and facilitating early detection of skin cancer. - Closing the gap requires coordinated action by policymakers, employers, workers, and clinicians; moving beyond mere policy adoption toward sustained practice and cultural change is essential. - The perspective does not provide new quantitative outcomes or implementation trial data in the abstract; details beyond the abstract were not reported in the source provided.

Despite a robust legislative framework mandating comprehensive workplace sun protection, evidence indicates suboptimal implementation and compliance in Australian workplaces. This perspective critically analyses the documented gap between policy and practice, examining the individual, cultural and organisational barriers to effective sun protection. We argue that current workplace policies are insufficient without rigorous enforcement, adequate penalties and a genuine shift in workplace culture. Furthermore, we highlight the pivotal role of occupational health physicians and general practitioners in bridging this gap through patient identification, targeted education, and early skin cancer detection. Closing the policy-practice gap requires a concerted, multi-pronged effort from policymakers, employers, workers, and clinicians to move beyond mere compliance and foster a culture of sun safety. **Keywords:** Australia; occupational health; outdoor workers; primary health care; skin cancer; sun protection; ultraviolet radiation; workplace policy. © 2026 The Author(s) (or their employer(s)).
