Following the precedent set by Brazil, which passed a resolution in 2009 banning the use of commercial tanning beds for cosmetic purposes, Australia is only the second country in the world to implement bans. This step occurred in a relatively short time frame. The first announcement of such a ban was in the country’s most populous state, NSW, and
occurred before Australia’s peak cancer organization, Cancer Council Australia, had even formulated a national position to support a total ban. At a state level, Cancer Council NSW recommended a ban in a submission to their government only 12 months before the NSW government announcement. It is very rare in public health policy for such a significant policy
decision with clear commercial implications for small business to have occurred so quickly and before all key public health institutions and advocates had come to an agreement
that such a ban was even possible.
