From wellbeing line-item to governance imperative.
Director duty of care
Under the model WHS Act, officers have a positive due-diligence duty. UV exposure is now squarely in scope.
ESG 'S' reporting
Workforce health outcomes are increasingly disclosed under ASX governance and ISSB-aligned frameworks.
Insurance premium signal
Workers' compensation claims for occupational skin cancer have driven a measurable rise in scheme exposure.
Talent & retention
High-risk outdoor sectors face attrition costs that dwarf the price of a structured prevention program.

Why leading employers are acting now
Your peers aren't waiting for leadership to ask.
Mining
"ICMM and tier-1 client questions on workforce health are now standard. We had to move from ad-hoc to systematic."
Local Government
"Our wellbeing program was getting benchmarked against neighbouring councils. Skin cancer detection was the gap."
Construction
"9 of our 10 largest clients now ask for workforce-health evidence in tender. Prevention became a tender-eligibility issue."
"They found a melanoma. I'm here today because of it."
Dan Morelli, Director, Mainbrace Constructions
Several years ago, Mainbrace Director Dan Morelli saw a television segment featuring Skin Check Champions, recognised the warning signs, and booked a check. That decision led to the detection of a potentially deadly melanoma. In June 2026, Mainbrace — one of Australia's leading retail construction specialists — announced a multi-year national partnership with SCC to bring that same opportunity to its workforce, contractors and the regional communities where it builds.
- →On-site workplace skin check clinics across active Mainbrace projects in NSW, VIC and QLD.
- →Regional and remote community activations in the areas where Mainbrace builds, including deployment of SCC's mobile clinic "The Silver Bullet".
- →Access to The Scoreboard — a digital platform for risk assessment, reminders and provider connection — extending reach to workers who can't attend on-site.
"Our people spend their working lives outdoors, building in some of the harshest conditions in the country. Looking after their health isn't a nice-to-have — it's part of what it means to run a serious construction business in Australia."
Jaco Steyn, Director, Mainbrace Constructions
