Watch Before You Book
SKIN CANCER & SUN DAMAGE: EARLY DETECTION MATTERS
Australia, and Queensland in particular, has some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Many skin cancers develop quietly, and a spot that looks harmless can be hard to judge by eye alone.
Most skin cancers are linked to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Over the years, UV exposure causes sun damage in the skin, which can show up as rough or scaly patches, uneven pigmentation, sunspots and freckling. Some sun-damaged areas can progress to skin cancer over time, which is why they are worth having looked at.
A regular skin check with a trained doctor helps find skin cancer and sun-damaged areas early, when management is generally simpler. It is a straightforward appointment, and one of the most useful things you can do for your long-term skin health.
WHEN TO HAVE YOUR SKIN CHECKED
If any of the below apply to you, it is a good time to book a skin check. You do not need to wait for something to look wrong.
A NEW OR CHANGING SPOT
A new mole or freckle, or an existing one that has changed in size, shape, colour or height.
A SORE THAT WON'T HEAL
A spot that bleeds, crusts or stays open for weeks without settling.
A SCALY OR ROUGH PATCH
A persistent scaly, red or rough area of skin, often on sun-exposed sites. This can be a sign of sun damage.
SUN EXPOSURE & SUN DAMAGE
Years spent outdoors, past sunburns, or visible sunspots, freckling and uneven pigmentation from the sun.
LOTS OF MOLES OR FAIR SKIN
Many moles, fair skin, or skin that burns easily can increase the need for regular checks.
This list is general information only and is not a diagnosis. Only a qualified doctor can assess your skin in person. If you notice a rapidly changing or bleeding spot, please book promptly or see your GP.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
It is a thorough examination of your skin by a doctor, looking for spots or changes that may need attention. Your doctor uses dermoscopy, a specialised magnified view, to examine spots in more detail.
No. Sun damage is the cumulative effect of UV exposure on your skin, and can appear as rough or scaly patches, sunspots, uneven colour and freckling. It is not skin cancer, but some sun-damaged areas can develop into skin cancer, so your doctor will assess them during your check and advise what, if anything, is needed.
Yes. Regular screening is one of the most important things you can do for your skin health, since early detection makes skin cancer far more treatable. Some skin cancers are hard to notice without a trained eye.
It depends on your skin type, sun exposure, and personal and family history. Your doctor will advise how often is right for you after your check.
The examination itself is not painful. If your doctor recommends a biopsy or treatment for a spot, they will explain what is involved and talk through your options before anything is done.
A full skin check involves examining your skin from head to toe. You will be given privacy to change, and you can tell your doctor if there are areas you would prefer not to have examined. You are welcome to ask for a chaperone.
Yes, bulk billing is available for eligible patients with a valid Medicare card. Please bring your card, and our team will confirm your eligibility when we confirm your booking. If any part of your visit is not covered, we will let you know before you attend.
