Skin ChX

What actually happens when Skin ChX comes to your worksite? Let us walk you through it. 🩺
A lot of WHS and HR managers are interested in onsite skin cancer screening but are not sure what the day actually looks like in practice. So here is the whole thing from start to finish, no surprises.

Before the day, we confirm your site location, team size, and a space we can use. Could be a lunchroom, a site office, any private area you have available. We send you everything you need to brief your workers, so nobody shows up not knowing what to expect. ✅

On the day, Christine arrives on site and sets up. Workers come through one at a time. Every single assessment is done using dermoscopy, a clinical grade skin microscope, the same tool used by dermatologists. Each check takes around 20 minutes. Your operations keep running. Nobody is pulled off site for a day. 👷

When something is found, we document it, photograph it, and give that worker a clear written referral to the right clinician. We explain exactly what it means and exactly what to do next. Calm, clear, and specific. No alarm and no vague reassurances.

After the day, your WHS or HR team gets a de-identified outcomes summary. A proper record of your organisation doing something real for your people.

That is genuinely the whole process. Simple, professional, and built completely around your site.

Parks and gardens crews trimming verges at 7am in full sun. Road maintenance teams on open highways with zero shade. Waste collection workers starting their rounds before most people have had their coffee. Rangers covering vast open land all day long. Transport and logistics staff loading and unloading in open yards under a WA sky that does not care what industry you work in. ☀️

These workers are clocking the same UV hours as anyone on a mining site or a construction project. The exposure is identical. The risk is identical. The skin cancer statistics don't discriminate by industry.
But the workplace health programs do.

Mining gets the attention. Construction gets the campaigns. Local Government and transport workers get a tube of sunscreen in the lunchroom and a reminder to wear a hat. That is not a skin cancer prevention program. That is a checkbox. 🩺

UV is a documented workplace hazard. WHS legislation is clear on the duty of care employers carry for known health risks. And onsite skin cancer screening is one of the most practical, low-disruption ways to actually do something about it.

Skin ChX comes to your depot, your facility, your yard, and your site. We work around your roster. Every worker gets a proper clinical assessment using dermoscopy. Anyone with a finding gets a clear referral and knows exactly what to do next. No confusion. No anxiety. Just answers. ✅

Your team is out there every day. They deserve the same access to preventive health as anyone else working under the WA sun.

Agricultural workers across WA from the Wheatbelt and Southwest to the pastoral stations of the Kimberley accumulate some of the highest lifetime UV exposure of any workforce in Australia.

Long days outdoors. Minimal shade. Decades of repeated sun exposure through every season.
Skin cancer doesn't develop overnight. It develops over years of UV accumulation, and is most treatable when identified before symptoms become obvious or behaviour changes.

Skin ChX brings professional onsite skin cancer screening to agricultural workplaces across Western Australia. We work around your season. We come to your property. No workers need to travel. No productivity is lost.
A single screening day could identify lesions in workers who have never been assessed, and connect them to the right treatment before the situation becomes significantly more complex.

Here are the real answers.

👉"How disruptive is it?"
Not very. We set up in a lunchroom, a site office, any private space you have available. Workers come through one at a time. A full body check takes 20 minutes. A team of 20 can be fully screened in a single day without stopping operations.

👉"What happens if something is found?"
We document the lesion, photograph it, and give the worker a clear written referral to the right clinician for diagnosis and management. No alarm. No vague "you should probably get that checked." Specific next steps, calmly explained.

👉"How do we get it organised?"
One phone call or DM to us. You tell us your site, your team size, and a date that works. We send everything you need to brief your workers. We show up. We handle the rest.
That is genuinely how simple it is.

DM us the word ORGANISE or call (08) 6558 0480. Let's get your team booked in.

From Perth metro to the Pilbara, Kimberley, Goldfields and everywhere between, distance has never stopped us from getting your team checked. ☀️
If your outdoor workforce hasn't had a professional skin check, this is your sign to make it happen. One call and we sort the rest.

The Pilbara UV index regularly hits 11. That's not a summer warning. That's every single day for your team out on site. ☀️
UV index 11 is classified as extreme. And for FIFO workers clocking long hours outdoors in the Pilbara, Kimberley, and Goldfields, that exposure isn't a one-off. It's building up roster after roster, year after year.

Most of these workers have never had a professional skin check. Not because they don't care about their health. Because nobody has ever made it simple enough to fit around a site schedule. That's the gap we fill. 🩺

When Skin ChX comes to your worksite, your team doesn't have to go anywhere or organise anything. Christine sets up on site, screens every worker using clinical dermoscopy, and makes sure anyone with a finding leaves with a clear referral and a calm explanation of exactly what comes next. No stress. No guesswork.
Your people show up for your operation every single day. This is one way to genuinely show up for them.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Australia. Outdoor workers are the most exposed. And professional skin checks are almost never included in standard workplace health programs.
Onsite screening through Skin ChX changes that.
We come to your workplace. Your team doesn't travel. No appointments to book individually, no GP referrals, no lost hours navigating the health system.
Every worker gets a qualified clinical assessment using dermoscopy, the same tool used by dermatologists. Anyone with a finding gets a clear referral, and a calm explanation of next steps.

Workers remember the organisations that genuinely showed up for their health. This is one of those moments.

When I arrive at a worksite whether it's a construction project in Perth or a mining operation out in the Pilbara, I almost always find the same thing.
Workers who have noticed something on their skin. Months ago. Sometimes longer.
And they talked themselves out of getting it checked.

Not because they don't care about their health. But because getting to a clinic meant time off, a GP referral, a waiting list. It just never happened.
That's the gap onsite screening fills.

When I screen a team, I consistently find lesions that need referral. A few that are early and completely manageable. Occasionally one that is significantly more serious and would have been missed for another year if we hadn't shown up.
That's why I do this work. And that's why workplace screening matters.
If your team hasn't been checked, let's fix that.

So, here's how we make it simple.
You tell us your site location, your team size, and your preferred dates. We build the screening schedule around your roster and send you everything you need to brief your workers beforehand.
On the day, Christine Comans, our qualified Skin Cancer Screening Practitioner sets up on site, screens your team efficiently, documents every finding, and refers any worker with a concerning lesion to the right clinical pathway.
After the day, your WHS or HR team receives a de-identified summary, so you have a record of your organisation's commitment to employee health.
That is the entire process.

Contact (08) 6558 0480. One conversation is all it takes to get it scheduled.

5 things about skin cancer risk that every WHS Manager in WA should know, but most don't.

☀️ UV in WA is hazardous year-round not just in summer.
Winter doesn't mean safe. The UV index in Perth, the Pilbara, and the Kimberley regularly sits at 3 or above all year long. And 3 is the number where skin damage starts. Most workers don't know that. Most sites don't talk about it.

👷 Outdoor workers cop 2–3x more UV than anyone working indoors.
Every day on site is another day of exposure stacking up. Mining, construction, agriculture, transport, these workers are carrying a lifetime of UV that most people will never accumulate. And yet they're the least likely to have ever had a proper skin check.

🔍 The ones you need to worry about don't always look worrying.
Basal cell carcinoma the most common skin cancer in Australia can look like a small pink bump. A spot that just won't quite heal. Workers brush it off. Months go by. Something that would have been a simple fix becomes a much bigger problem.

🩺 Most of your outdoor team have never seen a skin cancer screening practitioner. Ever.
Not because they don't care about their health because getting to a clinic has always meant a referral, travel, time off, and a waitlist that doesn't fit around a FIFO roster or a site schedule. Onsite screening removes every single one of those excuses.

⚠️ Catch it early and it's usually straightforward. Catch it late and everything changes.
Early-stage skin cancer is almost always treatable with a simple procedure. Later stage means more invasive treatment, longer recovery, and a worker who is off site for a lot longer than anyone planned for.
Skin ChX brings qualified onsite screening to workplaces across WA.
