Skin Checks
A 15 minute skin cancer check could save your life
Approximately 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer at some point in their lives – a shocking statistic. This is why it is so important to detect skin cancer early and treat it immediately. Leaving it longer could cost you your life. Your doctors also offer a range of other skin checks and treatments ranging from acne treatment to wart removal.

Appointment Information:
The doctor will begin the examination with an assessment of your risk profile.
You will be asked about:
- Your past and current sun exposure
- Your personal and family history of skin cancer
- Any other factors that may be relevant
Next, the doctor will examine your skin. You may request partial or complete examination (down to undergarments). Please note, skin cancers can occur in places not exposed to the sun – even between the toes and under the breasts in women – so the more skin that can be checked, the more thorough your examination will be.
The examination is by visual inspection. Dermatoscopy (using a hand-held magnifying instrument with or without applying oil) over the skin under bright lighting is also used. Any suspicious or doubtful lesions that are found may need to be biopsied. That is, a very small sample of tissue will be taken for analysis.
If there are no areas of concern, you will be free to go until your next check-up, otherwise, you will undergo immediate treatment or will need to make a subsequent appointment for a particular treatment.
NOTE:
- One appointment is required for each family member requesting to be seen.
- All checks are fully bulk-billed. Procedures may attract private fees
- We do not give results over the phone.
