Our History

In 2006, Karen Ong (Spotscreen Clinical Director) sadly lost her brother to melanoma skin cancer. This unfortunately was not a first for Karen as she had previously lost an uncle to melanoma.

Following this in 2011, Karen’s son Andrew (Spotscreen Corporate Director) also lost a good long-time friend to skin cancer, aged just 27.

As devastating as those incidents were, it drove Karen and Andrew to make a difference.

In 2011 Karen and Andrew launched Spotscreen, an organisation dedicated to saving lives through early detection of skin cancers and sun safety education in workplaces.

Since this time Spotscreen has worked with hundreds of companies across Australia and provided life-saving screenings to thousands of individuals.

The results of Spotscreen services delivered have been outstanding with many deadly skin cancers and other health concerns identified early, allowing successful treatment for Spotscreen’s patients.

Spotscreen clients have also reported excellent results with their employee health & wellness programs.

With a dedicated team of professionals, Spotscreen are proud to be one of Australia’s leading onsite health services organisations.
