Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world nearly 4 times that
of USA & UK
Australians are 4 times more likely to develop skin cancer than any other form
of cancer
Approximately 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the
age of 70
Melanoma is the MOST common
cancers in people aged 15-44 years
Skin Cancer costs the health system over $300 million
annually, the highest cost of all cancers
Over 430,000 Australians are treated for skin
cancer each year, that’s OVER 1,000 people per
day
Prevention remains the single most effective way to
save lives.
Exposure to the sun in childhood is an
important factor in the development of skin cancer later in
life
How much sun your skin receives in the first 10 years of life is really important in
determining your risk of skin cancer
later in life

You know all the great things
about Agoo right?
Agoo Activewear is cool,
funky and comfortable clothing
that kids love to wear.
Our high tech fabrics will provide
your child with UV50+ sun protection
but also keep them cool,
clothes that keep up with
your active child.
11
Many Australian parents are now
familiar with protecting their child
whilst at the beach or swimming
from the harmful effect of the harsh
Australian sun.
We ask why do we not apply
the same protection during
the day when playing
outside …….......
Look up it is the same sun!
12
If you are a 70’s child like me your childhood more than
likely didn’t include swimming in a rash-shirt
I don’t remember when they came on the scene, between me being a child and having
children
They must have been strange? innovative? But they have
change the sun safe habits of Australians around water
I can’t imagine letting my children go to the pool/beach
without one. In fact our backyard pool rules are
‘No rashie, No swim
That goes for any kid wanting a swim in my pool
We don’t know who pioneered the way with rash suits but at Agoo we are trying to pioneer the way with UV activewear. We hope that one day every child wouldn’t imagine playing outside without their UV Shirts. Education starts young and we hope if we can instil this behaviour at childcare it is a lesson they will keep for life. We hope that this will have an impact on the growing rate of skin cancer. Imagine if we can make a difference to this rate for our children’s generation.
We hope you will come on this journey with us.

As a mother of two young boys, I find Agoo clothing fantastic. It wears well, keeps them cool, and best of all, it protects them from
the sun whilst they are out playing. They wear Agoo to the beach, to the park, to soccer
training and in and out of the water. We’d be lost without our Agoo.
Sarah, Mordialloc VIC
I must give you some feedback on the Glamour Pants and Wave Tee I ordered. How well do they wash? Just brilliant! My daughter spilt strawberry all down the front of her top at the park and the pants receive a good work out with grass stains and dirt, but they came
up like new. I was very impressed.
Lynette, Mosman NSW
The boys both love their Agoo. Everything fits really well and both boys haven't taken their
clothes off - Toby is currently in track pants, long top, jacket and socks and thinks
he is wearing it all to bed. Meanwhile, Eddie is in his muscle tee
Anita, Warriewood NSW
I'd like to say that I love the colours of the activewear and the cut of the jacket is so cute. Even my husband commented on her
funky, sporty outfit!
Jen-See Paroz, Perth WA
My children ask if the can wear their Agoo clothing, especially for the beach, the pool, at
the park and even circus class. It suits all activities and they are comfortable all day
Sue, Wollongong NSW
Audrey was so excited to get her 'present' when it arrived and she loves wearing the jumper and practising using the zip! The fabrics are so soft and comfy and most importantly easy to clean. I have been
recommending your products to all of my friends with busy kids and the outfits speak for themselves, everytime Audrey wears her Agoo outfit people ask us where to get them
and she's loving the compliments.

Solution focussed, driven, problem solvers, philanthropic and socially conscious. These are attributes Alison Covington and Susan Wallis demonstrate in their personal as well as business dealings. If they see a problem they feel compelled to assist, which is exactly how Agoo
came to Australia
Alison left a highly successful corporate career to introduce Agoo Activewear. Having been personally touched by Melanoma, and concerned about the screen culture of today’s young kids, Alison wanted to make a difference in the activity levels and sun protection habits of the
next generation.
Alison was amazed that a product so perfect for the Australian climate and lifestyle was not available in this country. With such a high rate of sun related cancer, it was a product this country had to have. So she made it happen.
Agoo Activewear is cool, funky and comfortable clothing that kids love to wear. Stain resistant, UV rated, hard wearing and long lasting, so
parents love it too! Perfect for child care, kindergartens and pre-school as the sunscreen never washes off but the paint and grime does!
UV Protection …...........… not just at the beach. Many Australian parents are now familiar with protecting their child whilst at the beach or swimming from the harmful effect of the harsh Australian sun.
We ask why do we not apply the same protection during the day when playing outside …… look up it is the same sun.
Our high tech fabrics will provide your child with UV50+ sun protection but also keep them cool, clothes that keep up with your active child.
Alison is a ‘social entrepreneur who has always been committed to charitable and philanthropic projects. Whilst also working full time as a Director of an international corporation, Alison spearheaded Allsorts by Ali, a volunteer enterprise comprising of friends and family. This
team handmade, packed, distributed and sold chocolates, with ALL proceeds going to charities and local families in need.
Alison also seeks opportunities to assist business colleagues and friends along the way, providing mentoring, advice and coaching one on one
and in online forums. Alison also has successful business consultancy and is passionate about assisting others follow their passion and reach their full potential.
Follow your passion, and success will follow you.-- Arthur Buddhold
Working alongside Alison is lifelong friend Susan Wallis. Who not only supports the sun safe and active living message that drives Alison, but also has a personal passion for supporting families and children touched by disability, as her own has been. Susan is inspired by a comment
made by Alison, who felt she had a responsibility to advocate for families who could not do so themselves.
Susan combines her customer and communication related role at Agoo, with an active lifestyle and community involvement in areas related to disability. A board member on two committees, and inspiring guest speaker and presenter in the disability sector, Susan takes her role as an
advocate seriously.
Giving Susan the most joy is combining her commitment to living an active life with fundraising, the goal being to support the organisations that have assisted her family in their disability journey. Undertaking the Sydney City to Surf fun run along with other team members, Susan has helped raise almost $10,000 for different organisations in the last 3 years alone. She takes her personal responsibility to stay strong and
healthy seriously, and hopes to inspire parents of other children, especially those of special needs, to do the same.
Social responsibility, and a ‘pay it forward’ attitude, drives Agoo Australia, as demonstrated by fundraising campaigns, joint ventures and alliances with like minded organisations who share their vision to get kids more active and safer in the sun.
