Skin Patrol

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 pr

omote 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.

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.

A council depot is not one exposure profile. It is four or five. 🛡️

Parks and gardens crews are out for most of a shift. Waste collection is in and out of a cab. Roads crews hold fixed positions with little shade. Rangers cover ground by vehicle.

Safe Work Australia asks employers to eliminate UV risk so far as is reasonably practicable, then to reschedule work, add shade, and supply protective clothing.

Worth saying plainly: no part of the model WHS Act requires you to provide skin checks. It requires you to manage UV as a hazard. Screening sits alongside your other controls.

UV climbs through spring, well before the weather feels like summer. 🛡️

Cancer Council advises that frequent outdoor workers use sun protection year round, regardless of the UV index, so the habit matters more than the season.

What the season does change is your lead time. Booking now means the date fits your roster rather than the other way round.

If your clinic day is still an intention rather than a date, now is the quiet moment to fix it.

It is one of the most common patterns we see. 💼

The budget is signed off early in the year. Everyone agrees it matters. Then the date slips, quarter by quarter, until it lands in the busiest month on the calendar.

Nothing goes wrong exactly. It just does not happen when it was meant to.

The fix is usually boring. Lock the date when you lock the budget, and treat it like any other scheduled compliance activity.

The hardest part of workplace screening is rarely the screening. 🛡️

It is the logistics. Pulling people off the tools, covering the shift, chasing the ones who missed their slot.

A clinic day is built to take that away. Doctors come to you, appointments run back to back on a schedule you set, and each check takes 15 minutes.

Your crew comes off the tools once. Then everyone gets back to work.
