Proud to Welcome 36 New Childcare Centres in 2026

At Workcore, we’re proud to start 2026 by welcoming 36 additional childcare centres onboard. These centres will be supplied with our EcoZinc Bulk 1 kg and 2 kg mineral sunscreens, reinforcing a shared commitment to protecting children during outdoor play in Australia’s high-UV environment.

This milestone reflects a growing awareness across the childcare sector that effective sun protection is not optional—it is a core part of child wellbeing and workplace health and safety compliance.

Why Childcare Centres Are Choosing Mineral Sunscreen

Outdoor play is essential for learning and development, but in Australia it also presents a significant UV exposure risk. Childcare providers have a duty of care to minimise this risk through practical, evidence-based controls.

EcoZinc is a 100% mineral sunscreen, formulated with zinc oxide to provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Unlike chemical sunscreens, mineral sunscreen works by sitting on the surface of the skin and reflecting UV radiation—making it particularly well suited to frequent application on young, sensitive skin.

Our EcoZinc mineral sunscreens are:

• Free from chemical UV filters

• Australian made, manufactured to strict quality standards

• Designed for high-use, shared environments such as childcare centres

• Supplied in bulk formats to support daily, consistent application

  
  

For many centres, choosing a mineral-only sunscreen is a proactive step to reduce unnecessary chemical exposure while maintaining effective sun protection.

Supporting Workplace Health and Safety Obligations

UV radiation is a recognised workplace hazard, and childcare centres are required to implement controls that protect both children and staff. Providing appropriate sunscreen is a simple yet critical measure that supports compliance with workplace health and safety obligations.

Our 1 kg and 2 kg bulk sunscreen options help centres:

• Keep sunscreen accessible across outdoor areas

• Promote consistent staff application routines

• Reduce packaging waste and simplify procurement

• Demonstrate a clear, documented approach to sun safety

  
  

By integrating mineral sunscreen into daily operations, centres can show a practical commitment to risk management and child protection.
