Skin Cancer Screening
Nurse led skin check with remote review by doctor.
How We Work
Even though you may have had a skin check before, the Rural Skin Cancer Service has a standardised process to ensure a comprehensive review. Our skin checks run for 20-30 minutes. After calling you in, the nurse will ask for verbal consent to document your history and any relevant lesion photos. Examination involves undressing to underwear and lying on a bed with a sheet for modesty if required. We will use a special magnifying glass with polarised light called a dermatoscope to look over your skin and focus on suspicious lesions. The check will cover all over your body including under feet, between toes and through your scalp. All images of skin spots taken by the nurse will be reviewed remotely by one of our doctors and you will receive a report via email to summarise the findings and provide details of further review if required.
Payment Policy
Rural Skin Cancer Service is a private billing practice and full payment is required at the time of consultation. More information about fees and our service is available on the FAQ section of our website (www.ruralskin.au). Please note that there is currently no medicare rebate for skin checks with a nurse.
