Corporate Skin Checks

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and outdoor workers carry a significantly elevated risk. For employers in construction, landscaping, trades, agriculture, transport, surveying and similar outdoor-exposure industries, annual skin checks are one of the most cost-effective preventative health benefits available.

Albany Creek Doctors offers corporate skin check programs designed to fit around your workforce, with appointments either at the clinic or on-site for larger teams.

A thorough skin check is a head-to-toe visual examination, supported by a dermatoscope — a handheld device that magnifies skin features not visible to the naked eye.

A standard check takes 15 to 20 minutes. If anything suspicious is identified:

• The spot is photographed and recorded
• The worker is informed directly
• A follow-up appointment is scheduled for biopsy or treatment

Reporting to the employer is kept at the program level (number of workers screened, number referred for follow-up) — individual medical details remain confidential to the worker.

Corporate skin check programs work best as annual recurring events, ideally in the cooler months when workers can schedule without compromising peak season operations.

Get in touch with Albany Creek Doctors to discuss a tailored program — we can work out scheduling, location (on-site or clinic) and the right cadence for your team's exposure profile.
