Skin Cancer Clinic
Skin cancer is the highest diagnosed type of cancer in Australia each year. The best way to protect you and your family is to do regular skin checks. That way, early detection is ensured and development of skin cancer can be prevented. While we offer detection of skin cancer, we also provide treatment in the form of minor procedures. Here’s what else you can do to protect your skin:
- Slip, Slop, Slap
- Avoid long sun exposure
- Always wear sun protection, particularly when it’s cloudy (UV index is usually much higher with cloud cover)
- Check in with your doctor for regular skin checks
Pathology
Whether you have concerns about a current disease, want to check the development of a disease or are looking to get insights into the results of a treatment, we can help. Our on-site pathology specialises in finding out in what ways a disease affects the body. This is done by assessing any changes happening in blood, tissues, and other body fluids. Pathology is mostly used to:
- Diagnose diseases
- Diagnose cancer
- Monitor chronic diseases
- Perform genetic research
Mental Health
Currently there are 3 million Australians that live with anxiety or depression. Suffering from mental health problems is common, and we can help. We assess, treat and provide support to anyone living with a mental illness, because we believe mental health is just as important as physical health. We listen, ask and check in with you. Please get in touch If you are experiencing one of the following:
- Anxiety
