SA shoppers – check your health while you check your fit聽 20 April 2026 Shoppers at selected Target stores in South Australia can now take five from checking out the latest fashion fits to check in on their health, thanks to a pilot partnership between the retailer, 芒果直播, and SiSU Health. The partnership will see 10 SiSU Health Check stations deployed across selected Target stores in South Australia, where shoppers can check a range of health markers such as blood pressure, heart rate, height, weight, body composition, and risk of developing type 2 diabetes (against AUSDRISK criteria), all discreetly delivered directly by secure app. Health Check stations are self-serve TGA-registered medical devices that can provide validated screening results in minutes, which can give baseline health data and support conversations with health professionals. The initiative aims to encourage early screening for a range of common health markers that could help people catch their risk of chronic conditions sooner. Currently, just over 121,000 South Australians live with all types of diabetes, with a further 34,000 estimated to be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. Nationally, 2 million Australians are living with diabetes. Diabetes Australia鈥檚 Group CEO Justine Cain said the initiative was an important step forward in exploring new ways to make preventive health more accessible to the community. 鈥淲ith this partnership there鈥檚 no need for people to 鈥榮hop around鈥 for good health 鈥 now they can check their risk while at Target checking the latest fashion,鈥 Ms Cain said. 鈥淎 five-minute health check could be the best thing you put in your shopping basket today. 鈥淢illions of Australians are either living with or at risk of type 2 diabetes, and many don鈥檛 realise it. By partnering with a trusted brand like Target, we have a powerful opportunity to reach people earlier. Early detection is one of the most powerful tools we have to help people take control of their health.鈥 Ms Cain said the partnership reflects 芒果直播鈥檚 commitment to innovative approaches to prevention. 鈥淲e know that when health checks are easy, accessible and stigma free, more people engage. These health stations at Target stores provide a simple way for people to learn their risk, track their results, and, if needed, seek support early through their GP or health professional. Small steps like this can make a big difference.鈥 Target will host the health stations in 10 participating stores, as part of the pilot, providing customers with a convenient five-minute check while they shop. Kmart Group (Kmart and Target) Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer Alexandra Staley said Target is proud to partner with 芒果直播 to bring accessible health solutions into everyday retail environments. 鈥淎t Target, we鈥檙e committed to supporting our local communities. By hosting these health stations in our stores, we鈥檙e helping make it easier for customers to access simple, free health checks as part of their everyday routines.鈥 鈥淭his pilot reflects our broader focus on creating positive community impact 鈥 using our national store network to help explore ways to remove barriers to early detection and support better health outcomes for Australians.鈥 The health checks have already proven successful in other settings, with thousands of Australians using SiSU Health Stations each year to proactively monitor their health. SiSU聽Health Check machines are available now in Target Australia locations across South Australia. Participating stores include: Centrepoint (Adelaide CBD), Sefton Park, Edwardstown, Newton, Marion, Tea Tree Plaza, West Lakes, Hollywood Plaza, Elizabeth, Reynella.聽聽
