About the service
What are skin cancer and mole checks?
Mole and skin cancer checks are detailed skin examinations performed to identify suspicious moles, lesions, and signs of sun damage. Our doctors assess various skin conditions, including:
- Melanoma
- Basal cell carcinoma
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- Solar keratosis
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, making regular skin checks an important part of maintaining your health.
Why regular skin checks matter
Common reasons for a skin check
- Changes in the size, colour, or shape of a mole
- New or unusual skin lesions
- Family history of skin cancer
- Excessive sun exposure or sun damage
- Concern about a specific spot or mole
Early detection benefits
Early identification and treatment of skin cancer can significantly improve outcomes. Regular skin examinations help detect suspicious lesions before they become more serious.
Recommended frequency: We recommend having a skin check-up once a year.
