Thanks @DelazJ . I'm not sure you have to go through Applications for this - it can be done from the icon on the bar at the bottom (from memory).

How about:

After installing QGIS, the first launch attempt may fail due to security protections. To enable QGIS, control-click on its icon and select Open in the context menu. A confirmation dialog will display where you you need to click the Open button again. This only has to be done once.

@nickbearman Indeed, people don't need to go through Applications folder, but I don't think that macOS places icon of installed applications in the Dock by default. So the imho safest step is to ask them to use the Applications road. Also, Garth was mentioning that it would avoid people trying to ctrl-click the icon in the dmg file they are installing.
