Skin Checks by Dermatologists

The Skin Health Institute has a new addition to its clinical services, Skin Checks by Dermatologists.
This pilot program allows anyone to book in for a skin check by a qualified dermatologist without the need for a referral.

Please note as this is a screening clinic, no Medicare rebates will apply and the flat fee of $150 will be payable on the day of appointment.

WHY SKIN CHECKS BY DERMATOLOGISTS?

In general, if an individual requires a skin check, they will see their GP, find a spe­cial­ist or go to a skin can­cer detec­tion clinic.

If a suspicious spot is identified, patients are often referred to a dermatologist which can have wait times of over 6 months and be very expensive.

With Skin Checks by Dermatologists, your skin check is performed by a highly qualified individual. No referral is required and your appointment is efficient and affordable.

HOW TO BOOK

We are currently taking expressions of interest for Skin Checks by Dermatologists for 2023.

Please fill in the form below and a Skin Health Institute representative will contact you via your nominated phone or email to organise an appointment.

A deposit may be required at time of booking.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT

 

Your appointment will be a full body skin check performed by a consultant dermatologist.  Using a dermatoscope, a small handheld magnifying device, the dermatologist will closely look at any spots over your body particularly looking for suspicious spots that could be cancerous.

As the skin check will be undertaken by a fully qualified practitioner, the appointment will last roughly 10 minutes.

No photos will be taken during the consultation.

Patients will receive information about skin cancer and when they can safely expose themselves to the sun to obtain Vitamin D. The consulting dermatologist will verbally provide recommendations for future surveillance at the appointment.

If you require further treatment such as a biopsy or excision you will be referred to an appropriate service either within the Skin Health Institute, such as sub-speciality clinic at a discounted rate, or a provider of your choosing.
