FACT: Melanoma doesn't check ID

Skin cancer doesn't care about your age. In fact, melanoma is one of the most common cancers in young adults.

Sun damage accumulates from childhood, and changes can happen at any age.The best time to start checking your skin? Now.

Early detection saves lives. Book your first skin check today.

In October, we carried out 251 skin checks, bringing our 2025 total to 2,843. That’s 2,843 opportunities to catch something early, have a life-saving conversation, and protect the people who keep our workplaces running.

We’re stoked to see more organisations making skin health part of their wellbeing programs. Because when it comes to prevention, every check counts.

Our mobile clinic was back on the move in October, taking life-saving checks on the road to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Timaru, Gisborne, and New Plymouth.

We’re proud to support businesses that prioritise staff wellbeing and make skin health part of their workplace culture. Every visit means more early detections, more awareness, and more lives protected.

As we roll into warmer months, the UV is climbing fast and it’s catching plenty of people off guard.

The air might still feel mild at times, but UV levels don’t wait for the heat to arrive. In fact, November and December often bring some of the highest UV exposure of the year in NZ.

The easiest way to stay one step ahead?
Check the UV Index before you step outside.

📲 Download the UVNZ App or SunSmart App to track real-time UV levels where you are.
☀️ When the Index hits 3 or above, it’s time to Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap.

Your skin deserves the same care you give everything else. Your skin is your body’s first line of defence and the only outfit you’ll ever wear for life. Treat it like the essential it is: cover up, check regularly, and make protection part of your routine.

Small habits today make all the difference tomorrow.

When one person gets checked, they often inspire others to do the same, a partner, sibling, or parent. Awareness spreads, and so does prevention.

Our workplace programs start with education, empowering people to take sun safety beyond the job site and protect their whānau too. It’s not just about employees, it’s about families, communities, and lasting awareness.🌞

For outdoor crews, UV exposure is part of the job, but sun damage doesn’t have to be.
Our Skin Health Program helps businesses protect their people with practical education, onsite skin checks, and sun-safety initiatives that stick.

Every day under the sun should be safe, not risky. Because looking after your team’s wellbeing means protecting them from the ground up, and from the top down.

Our nurses use advanced dermoscopy technology to identify skin changes that can’t always be seen with the naked eye. That precision means faster detection, clearer results, and peace of mind for you and your workplace.

Because your skin deserves the best tools in the business.
