Throw Shade: How Bang Digital is Prioritising Skin Health in the Workplace

Throw Shade: How Bang Digital is Prioritising Skin Health in the Workplace

We’re partnering with Shade Skin through their #ThrowShade initiative to organise skin checks for the whole team. Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Australia, and early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. It’s a small step that supports a bigger goal—creating a workplace where wellbeing is part of the everyday, not just an afterthought.

Why Bang Digital is Embracing the #ThrowShade Initiative

The #ThrowShade Initiative represents exactly what we value at Bang Digital: practical solutions that create meaningful impact. This innovative “pay-it-forward” program makes skin cancer screening accessible while raising crucial awareness about prevention. By participating, we’re not just investing in our team’s wellbeing; we’re helping amplify an important message that could save lives. 

The Sobering Reality of Skin Cancer in Australia

Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. This widespread health concern affects our communities, workplaces, and families, yet it remains one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when caught early.

Despite this, many of us push regular skin checks to the bottom of our to-do lists. Recognising symptoms and consulting health professionals is crucial for early detection and appropriate care. Between demanding work schedules, family commitments, and daily responsibilities, preventative healthcare often takes a backseat—until it’s too late. Health professionals play a vital role in early detection and treatment, making regular consultations essential.

The Power of Early Detection

Early detection of skin cancer dramatically improves treatment outcomes. Through the #ThrowShade initiative, our team members now have straightforward access to professional skin checks and screening tests that could quite literally save lives.

What’s remarkable about this program is that it removes the common barriers that prevent people from getting checked:

  • Cost concerns
  • Time constraints
  • Appointment hassles
  • Lack of awareness
  • Family history awareness

By eliminating these obstacles, Shade Skin Cancer Medicine has created a simple pathway to potentially life-saving early detection.

Taking Action

If you’re inspired to prioritise skin health in your workplace, visit Shade Skin Cancer Medicine to learn more about the #ThrowShade initiative and how your organisation can get involved. Regularly examining your skin for warning signs of skin cancer is crucial. Self-examinations and medical examinations can help detect any suspicious changes early.

Together, we can create workplaces where preventative health is normalised, skin checks are routine, and we’re actively reducing the impact of skin cancer in Australia—one skin check at a time. Remember to consult a doctor for regular skin checks and professional advice.
