Who performs skin checks
GPs with an interest in skin cancer medicine often provide full-body or spot checks. Dermatologists specialise in skin conditions and may be referred for complex lesions.
What to expect
The clinician examines your skin, may use a dermatoscope, and explains whether any spots need monitoring, biopsy, or treatment. Wear clothing that allows easy access to skin areas you are concerned about.
Typical costs (indicative)
GP skin checks follow standard consult billing. Dedicated skin clinics may charge private fees. Medicare may cover some dermatology visits with a referral. Confirm fees when booking.
Booking & referrals
Book directly with a GP or skin clinic. Dermatologist referrals come from a GP when needed.
