Regular Skin Checks and Examinations
Regular 12-month screenings are crucial for early detection and to ensure that your skin is healthy and safe from skin cancer. Our dedicated team of highly trained doctors is committed to providing thorough and accurate skin examinations, putting your health and well-being first.
You might be concerned about the appearance of a new spot on your skin or a spot that has changed in appearance over time. Rest assured, our compassionate doctors are here to listen to your concerns and thoroughly examine any areas of your skin that require attention. Their expertise in early detection and treatment of skin cancer ensures that you receive the best possible care.
Minor Procedures
In addition to skin checks, some of our GPs are skilled in performing minor surgical procedures such as the removal of cysts and toenail surgery. Whether you require a routine skin check or a minor surgical procedure, our team is here to provide comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
Skin cancer clinic locations
We have skin cancer clinics located across our network of clinics. Patients are treated by doctors who are trained in skin cancer diagnosis and management. We have a number of highly trained GPs that specialise in skin cancer checks, early detection and diagnosis, biopsy and surgery.
State-of-the-art technology
Our fully equipped skin cancer clinics feature state-of-the-art technology, allowing us to view skin lesions at up to 40 times magnification and perform skin cancer screening for early detection. This provides additional opportunities for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, giving you added peace of mind.
When to get a skin check
Regular 12 month screening is recommended for the majority of Australian adults. You should also consult a GP if you notice any of the following:
- When you notice any changes on the skin
- When you have a sore, cut or scratch that does not heal
- When a new mole, lump or spot appears
- When an existing mole changes colour, size, shape or has started to itch or bleed
- When a spot or lump bleeds easily when rubbed
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Take proactive steps towards protecting your skin health.
FAQ’s
Some of our practices require an appointment made prior to your consultation. Please check with your preferred practice to confirm if they allow walk-in consultations.
St John WA’s Urgent Care centres are not Emergency Departments. Instead, they offer care from 8am to 9pm, 7 days a week, for injuries and illnesses that need immediate treatment but aren’t life-threatening. Urgent Care can provide treatment for possible sprains and broken bones, cuts that need stitches or glue, sports injuries, and animal bites.
Call Triple Zero (000) or attend the emergency department for:
- Heart attack or chest pains

It is always advisable to book an appointment so we can allocate enough time to help you. There are occasions when we can accept walk in patients, however patients must be prepared to sit and wait until a dentist becomes free.
