Why New Zealand workplaces should offer skin checks

New Zealand has the highest melanoma rate in the world. Onsite skin checks remove the friction that stops people getting checked, and catch problems early.

New Zealand has the highest melanoma incidence and mortality rate in the world, and most people delay getting checked. For employers, that makes onsite skin checks one of the highest-impact wellbeing services you can offer.

Why the workplace is the right place

When a clinician comes to your site, the friction that stops people booking disappears. No time off, no travel, no phone calls. Participation climbs, and early signs get caught while they are still easy to treat.

What a Healthbox SkinCheck involves

  • An online Skin Cancer Risk Assessment beforehand
  • A head-to-toe dermoscopy examination by a skin cancer clinical nurse specialist
  • Clear advice on anything that needs follow-up

Early detection saves lives. A short onsite clinic can be the difference between an early referral and a serious health outcome for one of your people.
