Skin cancer detection, treatment and prevention is the whole of our work. Our team have examined the skin of more than 150,000 West Australians, and each of our doctors is trained in the dermoscopy micro-diagnosis system.

From the tens of thousands of skin cancers diagnosed over 15 years, we have compiled one of the largest early skin cancer image libraries in the state to assist in diagnosis.

A skin check here is not a naked-eye examination.

Your skin is examined under colour-corrected lighting, then scanned with video dermatoscopes at 50x magnification on a 40-inch screen. Anything of interest is examined again at up to 300x — a mole half a centimetre across, magnified to a metre and a half.

That takes more time, more equipment and more steps than a traditional skin check. 

How we examine your skin →

Australia and New Zealand have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and two in three Australians will be affected.

Almost all of it is treatable when it is found early. A melanoma detected and treated early can be completely cured. The difference between simple and serious is usually how long it went unnoticed.

We celebrate when a skin cancer is found.

That sounds strange until you have watched a 2mm melanoma removed under local anaesthetic, and understood what the same lesion would have meant two years later.

A full skin check is capped at $90–$100 out of pocket after the Medicare rebate.

Pre-cancerous sun spots found during the check are treated at the same appointment, with no gap to pay. Where a biopsy is needed at the same visit, there is no additional out-of-pocket cost for it.
