Skin Patrol Bringing advanced skin cancer detection services to workplaces across Australia to detect skin cancer and save lives. www.skinpatrol.com.au

Skin Patrol is Australia's most experienced mobile medical practice specialising in skin cancer & health checks. Skin Patrol is Australia's premier mobile medical practice specialising in skin, health & flu vaccination clinics, delivered in workplaces and mine sites across Australia. Wherever you are, Skin Patrol will come to your organisation. Established in 2004, Skin Patrol's core goal is to promote early detection and treatment of skin cancer and other conditions through our onsite health clinics. Preventative healthcare enables regular testing for early signs and symptoms of chronic disease. By detecting the early signs of disease, employees can make lifestyle changes and seek early intervention and treatment. In many cases, this prevents the onset of chronic disease. We aim to test, educate and empower employees to be responsible for their long-term health.

Travel time is the quiet reason preventive programmes lapse. 🛡️

Two hours each way, on a workday, for something that is not urgent yet. It is nobody's fault and it happens every time.

Depots, quarries, farms, council yards, remote camps. The crews with the highest UV exposure are often the furthest from a clinic, and that is not a coincidence.

Take the travel out and participation looks very different.

A screening programme that costs a day of production does not get run twice. 🛡️

So the clinic comes to the site instead. A registered doctor does the examination, each check takes 15 minutes, and appointments run back to back on a schedule you control.

Findings are explained on the spot. Because the examination is doctor-led, a specialist referral can be issued during the appointment if one is needed.

Results go to the worker. Your WHS team receives participation data, de-identified.

Most sun protection policies are written around the weather. 💼

Sun protection times are issued whenever UV is forecast to reach 3 or above. Not at 30 degrees, not when the glare gets bad. At 3.

That covers a lot of days that do not feel like they need managing, and those are usually the days protection gets skipped.

Is yours keyed to the UV index or to the forecast temperature?

The clinic day matters. So do the other 364. 🛡️

Cancer Council reports that 55 to 70 per cent of melanomas are found by people themselves or their partners, rather than during a skin check with a health professional.

Which makes what a worker knows about their own skin part of the programme, not something separate from it.

Swipe through for what normal looks like, the kind of change worth noticing, and why noticing is not the same as diagnosing.

The objection is almost never the cost. 💼

It is the downtime. Half a day per person, staggered across weeks, is a scheduling problem nobody wants to own.

A clinic day takes that away. Appointments run back-to-back on a schedule you set, each check takes 15 minutes, and the crew comes off the tools once.

Afterwards, your WHS team receives a de-identified participation report. It shows who attended and crew coverage, with nothing clinical about anyone.

A clinic day covers a depot well. It does not cover a workforce that never sits still. 🛡️

A FIFO roster, a casual on a two-week contract, a maintenance crew working four hours away. Often the people with the highest exposure and the least access.

Vouchers close that gap. Workers who cannot reach a clinic day use an affiliated clinic near them, in their own time, and it records against the same register.

One programme, two ways to deliver it. Coverage stops depending on whether someone happened to be on site that Tuesday.

Swipe through for how the two fit together.

Fifteen minutes. That is the whole appointment. 🛡️

It is one of the reasons onsite screening works where a referral often does not. Nobody takes leave, nobody drives into town, nobody loses half a day.

The check happens between other things, the way most useful health care should.

Nobody logs a site visit as sun exposure. 🛡️

An hour on a survey, twenty minutes walking a boundary, a morning standing on an outcrop with a clipboard. Individually they are nothing. Across a year they add up.

Cancer Council Australia puts occupational solar UV exposure at 22% of the Australian workforce. A fair share of that sits with people who would never describe themselves as outdoor workers.

Worth checking who on your register only steps outside occasionally.

Every WHS manager who has run a clinic day knows this one. 📈

The date is locked, the doctors are booked, the comms go out. Then half the slots sit empty because the morning got busy.

Turnout is usually a scheduling problem rather than a willingness problem. Slots across a crib break, a supervisor who books their own crew in, and a reminder the day before all move the number.

What has actually lifted turnout on your sites?

Onsite screening solves the access problem for a depot. It does not solve it for everyone. 🛡️

Exploration crews, remote maintenance teams, FIFO rosters. The people hardest to reach are often the ones with the most sun exposure and the least access to a clinic.

That gap is worth planning for rather than accepting. A voucher used at an affiliated clinic near them, in their own time, records against the same register as everyone else.

Coverage should not depend on how far someone is from town.
