In Western Australia, sun exposure is a part of everyday life. Whether you’re working
outdoors, driving between sites, or simply living under WA’s relentless UV, the risk of
developing skin cancer is significantly higher than in most parts of the world. For many workplaces, particularly those across the Pilbara, Goldfields, Wheatbelt and the South West, this risk isn’t just personal—it’s an occupational health responsibility.

This is where Skin ChX plays a critical role.Skin ChX provides one of WA’s most advanced onsite skin cancer screening services, giving organisations and their teams immediate access to detailed, best-practice skin checks delivered by experienced skin cancer screening practitioners.

The difference between a basic skin check and a highly detailed screening process can literally be the difference between early detection and life-threatening disease.

Why Detailed Technology-Led Screening Saves Lives

Skin ChX uses only the most current and advanced dermoscopy technologies to review
 moles, spots and lesions for early signs of skin cancer. This is not a quick visual once-over. It’s a structured, comprehensive, technology-based assessment designed to identify  suspicious changes at their earliest and most treatable stage. A basic examination might miss subtle warning signs.

A detailed dermoscopic assessment  can detect changes invisible to the naked eye. This level of precision is essential in Western Australia, where UV exposure is consistently extreme and many people have accumulated decades of sun damage.

By bringing this technology onsite, Skin ChX gives workplaces an opportunity to protect their teams with a screening process that meets national best-practice standards.

How Our Onsite Screening Works

Skin ChX practitioners combine advanced dermoscopy tools and imaging systems to deliver a thorough full-body skin check while your team remains onsite, minimising downtime and disruption.

Key technologies used include:

DermLite DL4

• Up to 10x magnification
• Variable polarisation to see deeper into the spot
• Exceptional clarity of superficial structures

Heine Delta 30 Pro

• High-resolution optics
• Colour-true illumination
• Ideal for analysing vascular and pigment-network changes

Canfield VEOS

• 5x magnification
• Cross-polarised imaging
• Eliminates surface glare to reveal subsurface patterns

FotoFinder / Clinical Imaging Software
Where required, Skin ChX also uses advanced imaging apps such as FotoFinder to store, track and review images. This allows:

• Close-up evaluation
• Monitoring of changes over time
• Follow-up comparisons at future visits

Why WA Workplaces Choose Skin ChX

More organisations are now recognising that skin cancer screening should be a routine part of their Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) and Corporate Wellness programs as this is the primary responsibility of the employer to keep protecting the employees from skin cancer.

Onsite screening through Skin ChX helps businesses:

• Reduce liability related to workplace UV exposure
• Maintain a strong OHS standard with proactive prevention measures
• Minimise employee downtime by keeping screening efficient and onsite
• Educate workers on sun protection tailored to WA conditions
• Boost morale and support workforce wellbeing
• Implement sun-safety policies with proper documentation and risk assessment

Real Impact: Thousands of Skin Cancers Detected

Skin ChX onsite programs have already identified thousands of skin cancers, several of
 which were life-threatening. Many of these dangerous lesions were detected during routine workplace screenings—on people who assumed a spot was harmless, or who had not had a skin check in years.

This is why onsite screening matters. When Skin ChX arrives at a workplace in Port Hedland, Esperance, Bunbury, the Pilbara, the Perth metro area or anywhere across WA, our practitioners deliver a service that can genuinely change the course of someone’s life.

Early detection removes uncertainty, prevents advanced disease, and provides people with
clarity and guidance on how to manage their skin health moving forward.

A Safer Future for WA Workers

Western Australia’s workforce is the backbone of our state from FIFO teams to council
workers, contractors, farmers, teachers, port staff, drivers and local businesses. Protecting the people who keep WA moving is not just good practice, it’s essential. Skin ChX is committed to delivering the most detailed, advanced, and accessible onsite skin cancer screening service available in Western Australia.

By investing in technology and delivering screening where people work, we help reduce risk, improve organisational safety culture, and protect the long-term health of our community. Because when it comes to skin cancer, early detection isn’t optional—it’s life-saving.
