Slip-Slop-Slap is the name of a health campaign in Australia exhorting people to 'slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen & slap on a hat when they go out into the sun, in order to protect themselves against an increased risk of skin cancer. It is probably Australia's most recognizable health message.
The campaign started in 1981. The campaign was extended in later years to encourage the use of sunglasses & shade. That is, slip on a shirt, slop on the sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade, slide on some sunglasses: 'Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide.' It is also used in New Zealand.
