Early melanoma detection, delivered at work

New Zealand has one of the highest melanoma rates in the world. Onsite workplace SkinChecks remove the barriers that stop people getting checked, no travel, no waiting lists, no excuses.

Each screening is a comprehensive head-to-toe assessment where the clinician detects and documents any suspicious lesions with precision. We use advanced DermLite dermoscopy alongside Healthbox Live technology to image, map and analyse moles at a deeper level, enhancing early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers.

Participants also receive practical education on skin cancer and sun safety, helping reduce future risk while supporting your organisation's duty of care. Individual SkinChecks are also available at our Auckland and Christchurch clinics.

Workplace SkinChecks: your questions answered

How long does a workplace SkinCheck take?
Each workplace SkinCheck takes 20 minutes per employee. It is a comprehensive head-to-toe assessment carried out in a private space at your workplace, so staff are away from their desk for less than half an hour.
Who performs Healthbox workplace SkinChecks?
Healthbox SkinChecks are performed by highly qualified skin cancer clinical nurse specialists in dermoscopy. They use dermatoscopes (handheld microscopes) to examine moles at a level of detail not possible with the naked eye.
What happens if a suspicious mole is found?
If the clinician identifies a suspicious lesion, it is photographed and documented, and the employee receives a referral for further diagnosis, typically to their GP or a specialist for biopsy. Early referral is the goal: melanoma is highly treatable when caught early.
Why should employers offer SkinChecks at work?
New Zealand has the highest melanoma and mortality rate in the world, and most people delay getting checked. Bringing screening onsite removes travel and time barriers, supports your duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and regularly detects cancers that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Do employees need to prepare for a SkinCheck?
Minimal preparation is needed. Employees complete a short online skin cancer risk assessment before their appointment. We recommend wearing loose, easy-to-remove clothing and to avoid wearing makeup or nail polish where possible so the clinician can examine all skin surfaces.
