Given Australia’s high rate of skin cancer, early detection is key to effective treatment and prevention. Our experienced team of GPs specialises in skin cancer detection and management, ensuring that every patient receives attentive, personalised care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Why Skin Cancer Checks are Important

Australia has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer in the world. With regular exposure to the sun’s UV rays, Australians are at an increased risk of developing various types of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Early detection can dramatically improve treatment outcomes, and routine skin checks play a crucial role in identifying suspicious moles or lesions before they become dangerous.

Our Skin Cancer Services

At North Blackburn Square Clinic, we offer a wide range of skin cancer services, designed to ensure early detection and management of any skin abnormalities:

  • Full Body Skin Checks:

    Our skin cancer checks involve a thorough examination of your skin from head to toe. Our experienced GPs look for irregularities, moles, and lesions that could be early signs of skin cancer.

  • Mole Mapping & Monitoring:

    For patients with a high number of moles or a personal/family history of skin cancer, we offer mole mapping services. This advanced technique involves taking detailed images of your moles and comparing them over time to monitor any changes. This is an effective way to detect new or evolving moles that may pose a risk.

  • Biopsy and Treatment:

    If a suspicious mole or lesion is identified, our clinic is equipped to perform a skin biopsy on-site. This allows us to confirm a diagnosis and, if necessary, develop a personalised treatment plan. Whether it involves surgical removal of the lesion or referral to a specialist, we will guide you through every step.

  • Preventative Advice & Education:

    Prevention is a key part of our service. We offer tailored advice on how to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and minimise your risk of skin cancer. From sunscreen use to sun-protective clothing and regular self-examinations, we equip you with the knowledge to keep your skin safe.
