Employees Health provides onsite skin cancer checks for workplaces across Australia. Our qualified medical practitioners conduct workplace skin screenings using dermatoscopy to identify suspicious lesions, moles, and skin changes that may require further medical assessment. The service is designed for employers seeking convenient workplace health initiatives for outdoor workers and employees exposed to significant ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
At Employees Health SkinSafe Program we prioritise the health and well-being of your employees. Skin cancer is a prevalent concern and early detection plays a crucial role in effective management.
We are pleased to offer our comprehensive Corporate Skin Cancer Check program, which provides on-site medical examinations by experienced doctors. Our goal is to identify any potential skin cancer risks, provide relevant advice, and offer a referral process to employees’ own GPs for further management if required. Additionally, our state-of-the-art skin cancer centre is equipped to provide treatments for any diagnosed cases.
Employees attend a scheduled appointment onsite with a qualified clinician. During the assessment, the clinician performs a visual examination of the skin, focusing on areas that may be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and identifying any lesions, moles or skin changes that may require further investigation.
Appointments are designed to be efficient and workplace-friendly while maintaining privacy and clinical standards. The process typically includes:

Cancer can develop in the cells of the skin. Skin cancers are named after the type of cell they start from. Basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer are the two most common types of skin cancer. They are sometimes called non-melanoma skin cancer because they don’t develop from melanocytic cells. The third type of skin cancer is melanoma, which begins in the melanocytes. Other spots that aren’t skin cancer can also appear.

During an onsite skin cancer check, a qualified medical practitioner performs a visual skin assessment and may use a dermatoscope to examine moles, lesions, and other skin changes more closely. The assessment aims to identify skin abnormalities that may require further medical investigation. If necessary, employees may be advised to follow up with their GP or an appropriate specialist.
Yes. Individual medical information is managed in accordance with privacy legislation and professional confidentiality requirements. Personal health information is only shared with the employee unless otherwise authorised or required by law.
If a lesion or skin change appears suspicious during screening, the employee may be advised to seek further assessment from their GP, dermatologist, or another appropriate healthcare provider. Onsite screening does not replace a formal diagnosis or treatment plan.
The appropriate frequency of skin checks varies depending on individual risk factors, including age, skin type, personal history, family history, occupational UV exposure, and previous skin cancer diagnoses. Employees should seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional regarding their individual circumstances.
Workplace skin cancer checks are commonly implemented in industries where employees spend significant time outdoors, including construction, mining, agriculture, transport, utilities, local government, landscaping, telecommunications, and infrastructure sectors.
