Is UV exposure higher at southern latitudes as it is in northern?

Hello,

Hope everyone is having a nice day/week.
I know that the airline I fly for tries to spread the Polar routes, or high latitude routes at (70N) etc equally among all pilots. They try to monitor the exposure, but surely enough not to the extent where their primary concern is us over operations.
I was simply wondering if flying at southern latitudes of S20, inbound to Australia for example, has the same effect in terms of radiation?

Thanks for your input!
