VicTrack's wellness group recognised a critical need to address skin cancer prevention for their aging workforce. With many baby boomers who "didn't care for their skin when younger" and a large number of outdoor workers exposed to sun damage, the organisation knew action was needed.
VicTrack's wellness group recognised a critical need to address skin cancer prevention for their aging workforce. With many baby boomers who "didn't care for their skin when younger" and a large number of outdoor workers exposed to sun damage, the organisation knew action was needed.
The initiative came from their transformed wellness committee, which shifted focus from basic offerings like massage chairs to impactful health programs. Cost was a significant barrier for staff - employees were putting off skin checks because they're "not cheap," especially with rising living costs.
VicTrack started with a pilot program at its Sunshine warehouse, targeting outdoor workers first. The response exceeded expectations - almost all appointment slots were booked, with only a few spaces remaining during one particularly hot afternoon.
"The pilot program was well-received, with all spaces booked except for a few," noted Miranda Shami, People & Culture Coordinator. The program's flexibility was crucial - they used a voucher system for employees who couldn't leave work, ensuring no one missed out.
What surprised many was the interest from indoor workers. After seeing the positive response from their outdoor colleagues, indoor staff began asking when they could also participate.
Program Scope:
- Delivery method: On-site + Vouchers
- Number of checks performed: 64
- Program duration: 3 months
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Employees expressed genuine appreciation for the program, with many showing interest in making it a regular health check. The program delivered real results - one participant had three suspicious spots identified that required 3-month monitoring, potentially catching issues early. Other skin cancers and precancerous lesions were also detected.
"The responsiveness and passion of the MoleMap team highlighted the positive experience" - Janiece Meagher, Group Manager of HR Operations at VicTrack
The value proposition was clear. One manager mentioned his wife had treatment costing $2,000, while employees received comprehensive checks at no personal cost through the workplace program and identified concerning lesions while treatment is still topical and non-invasive.
VicTrack confirmed the launch of an expanded organisation-wide program, making it part of their annual wellness offering. Even the executive team, initially described as "funny about the benefits," came around due to the program's life-saving potential.
Key outcomes from the initial pilot program:
- 5 cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions identified
- 1 in 10 participants required treatment and intervention
- Nearly 100% employee participation rate
- Program approved for company-wide rollout
- Expanded to an annual initiative
- Significant cost savings vs private treatment
Following the pilot's success, VicTrack launched their company-wide program in 2025. The demand was immediate and overwhelming - all onsite appointment slots were booked within days of the program going live.
This instant response demonstrated the high level of employee engagement and trust built from the initial pilot. The program's success was attributed to timely detection, employee education, and MoleMap's comprehensive support, with access to ongoing monitoring.
