SFX: Operating theatre SFX

The commercial opens with a Doctor in operating garb talking to camera.

Super: Melanoma Surgeon, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

Doctor: Every year almost 400,000 Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer.

We cut to the Doctor cutting a skin cancer out of the girl's back.

Doctor: Outdoors you can't just rely on sunscreen. Protect yourself with a hat, clothing, shade, sunglasses and sunscreen,

Five icons appear: a hat, clothing, shade, sunglasses and sunscreen.

We cut back to the Professor in the operating theatre talking to screen:

Doctor: To avoid ending up in here.

Super: The Australian Government logo.
