Skin Aware Skin Aware - Specialising in Workplace Skin Cancer Screening Programs

2024 Wellbeing Award Winner at the New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards

Skin Aware's mission is to reduce the mortality rate of Melanoma in New Zealand. With NZ having the highest rates of skin cancer in the world and an ageing population the need to raise awareness has become more urgent than ever. Skin Aware offers a personable, professional, compassionate service to workplaces focusing on early detection and prevention of skin cancer. This is done through education sessions, screening clinics and liaison support. Our staff are real carers, with strong values and a highly professional attitude.

For many outdoor workers, finding time for a skin check isn't always easy.

That's why we've spent the last seven years taking skin health directly to New Zealand workplaces.

By bringing experienced nurses, education, and screening to where people already are, we're making prevention more accessible, more practical, and more likely to happen.

Because prevention works best when it fits into everyday life, not when it becomes another appointment to organise.

Big numbers are easy to scroll past. But every one of them represents someone.

A worker who finally booked a skin check.
A suspicious spot caught early.
A conversation that travelled home to family.
A workplace that decided prevention was worth investing in.

Over the past seven years, those moments have added up to thousands of opportunities to detect skin cancer earlier and help New Zealanders better protect their skin.

That's why we keep showing up.

Every workplace visit can include far more than screening.

✔ Practical UV education
✔ Toolbox talks
✔ Workplace sunscreen stations
✔ Personal skin health advice
✔ Behaviour change that lasts beyond the day

Because preventing skin cancer isn't about one appointment.

It's about creating healthier habits that workers take with them every day.

Most people don't regret getting a skin check.

They regret putting it off. Early detection often means simpler treatment, better outcomes and greater peace of mind.

If you've been meaning to book one, consider this your reminder.

We love seeing workplaces put skin health into practice. From sunscreen stations and posters to toolbox talks and everyday reminders, these small touches help keep UV safety visible long after a Skin Aware clinic has packed up and moved on.
A shoutout to the team at this site for putting the resources to good use. Good on ya! 👏

Another 594 skin checks added to the books.

Across July and August, our team completed 594 skin checks, bringing our 2026 total to 2,537.

Behind every check is a person, a conversation, a little more awareness, and another opportunity to catch something early.

We’re proud to keep bringing preventative skin health directly to workplaces across New Zealand, and grateful to the organisations continuing to make it a priority for their people.

Every check counts.

Some risks are obvious. Some aren't. Trips. Falls. Machinery. Electricity. These hazards can be easy to see but UV exposure is different. It's invisible, but for outdoor workers it's one of the most consistent workplace risks.

Managing UV shouldn't be an afterthought. It should be part of every workplace health and safety plan.

When melanoma is detected early, the five-year survival rate is over 99%. Once it spreads, those odds drop significantly.

That's why regular skin checks matter. Knowing what's normal for your skin and acting early if something changes could save your life.

Early detection isn't just important. It's everything.

From city offices to remote worksites, our mobile approach means we can take skin health screening directly to the people who need it.

With a dermoscope, laptop, phone and our digital clinical platform, DermEngine, our team can complete skin checks wherever we are.

For workplaces, that means less time spent for employees travelling to appointments, fewer barriers to getting checked, and more workplaces able to make skin health part of their wellbeing programme.

We've seen it happen time and time again.

After our education sessions:
✔ Workplaces start investing in UV-rated PPE.
✔ Teams begin checking the UV Index before heading out.
✔ Workers remind each other to reapply sunscreen.
✔ Managers start talking about UV alongside every other workplace hazard.

That's the ripple effect that creates lasting behaviour change.
