Skin checks for outdoor workers. Private by design.
Workers photograph a concerning spot and send it directly to their nominated clinician — from an app on their phone, in under two minutes. No images stored on any server. No site visits. No scheduling. No disruption to your roster.
What Flare does
One spot. One photo. Straight to the clinician.
Flare is a targeted spot check — a fast, private way for workers to photograph the spot that's been worrying them and send it directly to their nominated clinician. No images stored on any server. No disruption to your roster.
Flag concerns early
Workers photograph one area of concern and send it directly to the clinician your organisation already works with. It catches the spot someone's been watching — before their next annual check.
Private by design
Photos and worker details are sent directly to the nominated clinician and never stored on any server. After delivery, only non-identifying metadata is retained — the date and delivery status.
Complements your existing program
Flare works alongside annual skin checks, on-site clinics, and your broader WHS strategy — adding continuous coverage in the months between full examinations.
Documented for compliance
Every spot check creates a delivery record automatically. Your WHS team gets aggregate participation data and audit-ready documentation without chasing spreadsheets.
How it works
From phone to clinician in under two minutes.
Your worker snaps a photo
Workers open the Flare app on their phone, photograph a concerning spot, and mark where on their body it is. Under two minutes, from anywhere — on site, at home, or between rosters. No Wi-Fi or mobile signal? The app queues it securely and sends it automatically when connectivity returns.
It goes straight to their clinician
The photo and worker details are sent directly to the employer's nominated clinician — the doctor or practice they already trust. Nothing is stored on any server. The image passes through in transit only.
Worker gets confirmation instantly
The worker receives an email confirming their check was delivered to the clinician, with the clinician's name and contact details. The employer sees only aggregate delivery data — no photos, no health information.
WHS alignment
Aligned to your WHS duty of care
UV radiation is a recognised workplace hazard under the WHS Act. Flare helps you meet your general duty to manage that risk — with a structured skin monitoring program that sends checks directly to a clinician and generates compliance documentation automatically.
UV radiation is a recognised workplace hazard under the WHS Act. Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBUs) must manage risks to worker health so far as is reasonably practicable — including identifying UV exposure, implementing controls, and monitoring health outcomes.
General wellness programs don't demonstrate that you've addressed a specific hazard. Flare targets UV exposure with a direct pathway to a clinician — structured health monitoring that goes beyond tick-box wellness.
Each skin check is timestamped and recorded as a delivery event. Aggregate participation data gives your WHS team a reportable metric — not just a policy document, but evidence of action taken.
In the event of a claim or investigation, regulators look for evidence that the PCBU identified the hazard, implemented a monitoring program, and acted on findings. Flare creates this chain of evidence automatically as part of normal operation.
What Flare delivers
Built for the way outdoor work actually operates
Traditional screening happens once a year at best. Flare lets workers submit a skin check whenever they notice a change — sent directly to their nominated clinician. No waiting for an annual clinic day.
Mobile clinics only reach the workers who are on site that day. FIFO crews, remote teams, seasonal staff, and anyone on leave get missed. Flare reaches workers wherever they are — on site, at home, or between rosters — so your coverage isn't limited by geography or scheduling. No signal? Workers can complete their check offline and it sends automatically when they're back in range.
Photos and worker details are sent directly to the nominated clinician and are never stored on any Flare server. The image passes through in transit only. After delivery, only non-identifying metadata (date, delivery status) is retained. Your workers' health information stays between them and their clinician.
Every skin check creates a delivery record automatically — who submitted, when, and whether it was delivered to the clinician. Your WHS team gets aggregate dashboards without chasing spreadsheets, sign-in sheets, or manual reporting from third-party providers.
There are no mobile clinics to book, no on-site rooms to set up, no equipment to calibrate, and no third-party scheduling to coordinate. Workers use the phone they already carry. The entire program runs without any physical footprint on your sites.
Governance
Clinical oversight and data protection
Every submission goes through an automated image quality check, then is sent directly to the employer's nominated clinician. The clinician receives the photo with the worker's details for professional assessment. There is no middleman — Flare is the delivery mechanism.
Health information is collected under APP 3 with informed consent, sent directly to the nominated clinician under APP 6, and never stored server-side. Employers never receive identified health data — only aggregate delivery metrics.
Participation is voluntary. Workers choose when and whether to submit a skin check. Submissions go directly to the clinician — not to their employer, supervisor, or HR team. Workers can request deletion of their account at any time.
Photos and worker details are encrypted in transit and sent directly to the clinician. No images or health data are stored on any Flare server. After delivery, only non-identifying metadata is retained. This architecture eliminates the compliance burden of storing sensitive health information.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
About the service
Flare is a skin spot check service for Australian workplaces. Workers photograph a concerning spot on their phone and send it directly to their employer’s nominated clinician — in under two minutes. No images or health data are stored on any server. The employer sees only aggregate delivery data for compliance reporting.
No. Flare is a targeted spot check — one spot, one photo, sent directly to a clinician. It is not a full-body skin examination, dermoscopic assessment, or diagnostic service. We strongly encourage all workers to also attend annual full-body skin checks with their GP or a skin cancer clinic. Flare is designed to complement those checks, not replace them.
Each submission covers one area of concern. If a worker has multiple spots they’re worried about, they should submit the most concerning one and discuss others with their clinician.
No. Flare sends the worker’s photo directly to their nominated clinician for professional assessment. Diagnosis and treatment happen through the clinician, not through Flare. Flare is the delivery mechanism — getting the right photo to the right clinician, quickly and privately.
The worker receives a confirmation email that their skin check was delivered to the clinician, including the clinician’s name and contact details. What happens next is between the worker and their clinician.
How it works
Workers open the Flare app on their phone, take a photo of the spot that concerns them, mark where on their body it is, and submit. The photo goes through an automated quality check, then is sent directly to the clinician. The whole process takes under two minutes.
Yes. Workers receive an email invitation from their employer to set up a free Flare account. This takes about 60 seconds. We recommend using a personal email so the account stays with the worker even if they change employers.
Workers can submit a skin check whenever they notice a spot that concerns them. There are no fixed schedules or quarterly windows — workers check on their own terms.
Every submission goes through an automated image quality check before it’s sent to the clinician. If the photo isn’t clear enough — too dark, blurry, or poorly framed — the worker is asked to retake it before submitting.
The photo is sent to the clinician immediately after submission. The worker receives a confirmation email within seconds.
The clinician is nominated by the employer — typically the GP, occupational health provider, or skin cancer clinic the organisation already works with. Flare sends directly to whichever clinician the employer configures.
Workers can complete their skin check offline. The app securely queues the submission on-device and sends it automatically when connectivity returns. This makes Flare ideal for remote sites, underground operations, and areas with patchy coverage.
Privacy & data
They’re not. Photos pass through Flare in transit only and are delivered directly to the clinician. No images are stored on any Flare server. After delivery, only non-identifying metadata is retained — the date and delivery status.
Yes. Photos and worker details are encrypted in transit and sent directly to the nominated clinician. Nothing is stored server-side. Flare complies with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988.
No. Employers never see individual photos or health information. Employers see only aggregate delivery data — how many checks were submitted and whether they were delivered. Individual submissions are private between the worker and their clinician.
Workers can request deletion of their account at any time. Because Flare doesn’t store photos or health data server-side, there is minimal data to delete — only their profile and delivery history metadata.
The worker’s Flare account stays with them. If their new employer also uses Flare, their existing account carries over. If not, the worker retains access to their account.
For employers
No. Individual submissions go directly to the nominated clinician. Employers receive only aggregate delivery data — total submissions and delivery status — for WHS compliance reporting purposes.
UV radiation is a recognised workplace hazard under the WHS Act. Flare provides documented evidence of an active skin monitoring program — participation records and aggregate delivery data. This documentation supports your duty of care obligations and goes directly into your WHS compliance file.
No. Flare is a targeted spot check that sends the photo to a clinician. It does not replace a comprehensive full-body skin examination. Many employers use Flare alongside annual on-site checks, providing continuous coverage in the months between full examinations.
You nominate your clinician, invite your workers, and they’re ready to go. Workers receive a branded email invitation and set up their account in under a minute. Most employers are live within days.
Flare works the same regardless of where workers are located. There’s nothing to set up on site. Workers submit from their phone wherever they are — on site, at home, between rosters. Remote, FIFO, and seasonal workers are all covered without any additional logistics.
Common objections
Workers are more likely to submit a 2-minute photo from their phone than attend a 30-minute clinic appointment that requires time off site. The low friction is the point — it catches the people who would never book a skin check on their own.
That’s great — and Flare isn’t designed to replace that. It’s the coverage in between. What happens to the spot a worker notices in March if their annual check isn’t until October? Flare gives them a way to send it to their clinician immediately.
You’re right — and we’re upfront about that. A spot check sends one photo of one area of concern to a clinician. An in-person check examines the whole body with dermoscopy. They’re different tools for different purposes. Flare catches the spot that’s worrying someone right now.
The employer configures their nominated clinician — the GP, occupational health provider, or skin clinic they already work with. Every submission is delivered to that clinician. Workers receive a confirmation email with the clinician’s name so they know exactly where it went.
Flare’s consent messaging is explicit: this is a spot check sent to a clinician, not a comprehensive examination. Every confirmation includes a reminder to maintain regular skin checks with a GP. Flare accelerates the pathway to a clinician — it doesn’t replace ongoing care.
Private by design. Photos go directly to the clinician — nothing stored on any server. A stronger compliance story for your WHS program.
