Skin Check Clinic Adelaide – Your Skin Cancer Screening Experts
At Pro Health Care, we provide a trusted, high-quality Skin Check Clinic in Adelaide, dedicated to early detection of skin cancer. Our focus is on thorough examination, advanced diagnostic tools, and personalised care tailored to your skin and risk profile.
Whether you need a routine skin cancer check, have a changing mole, or want a detailed mole mapping session, our team is here for you.
Why Skin Checks Matter (Early Detection Saves Lives)
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, making early detection critical. Detecting skin cancer in its earliest stages significantly improves treatment success and reduces more invasive interventions.
However, there is no national screening program for healthy individuals, and skin checks are recommended based on risk, history, or changes in skin lesions.
We adopt a multi-layered approach to give you confidence and clarity about your skin health.

You should book a skin check if you have:

If you notice a mole that is changing in size, color, or border – or any new growth – it’s time to act.
How the Skin Check Process Works
| Stage | What Happens | Time Estimate |
| Pre-Appointment Review | We review your medical history, skin cancer risk, previous reports | 5-10 mins |
| Consult & Examination | Full skin inspection using dermatoscope, imaging, documentation | 20-30 mins |
| Photography / Mapping | Images taken of your moles or lesions for baseline | 5-15 mins |
| Decision & Recommendation | If a lesion is suspicious, we may biopsy or refer for excision | Immediate or follow-up |
| Follow-Up & Monitoring | Scheduled review or mapping updates (e.g. 6-12 months) | – |
We tailor the duration depending on your skin complexity, number of lesions, or imaging needs.
Safety, Accuracy & Diagnostic Confidence
To ensure your check is reliable and safe, we incorporate:
- Specialist doctors trained in skin cancer medicine
- Dermoscopic tools and imaging for lesion analysis
- Digital monitoring and comparison over time
- Evidence-based protocols for accuracy
- Follow-up schedules based on risk and lesion dynamics
We also offer same-day biopsy or treatment where clinically appropriate, helping you get results faster.
Costs, Billing & Medicare Rebate
Pricing can vary depending on the type of check, imaging, whether biopsy or treatment is required, or the level of specialist care. Many clinics offer a gap fee above the Medicare rebate for skin checks or procedures.
We aim to be transparent about costs. Before booking, our staff will explain your likely fees, Medicare rebates, and out-of-pocket expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a dermatologist referral?
No. You can book directly for a skin cancer check. If a specialist referral is needed, we’ll organise it.
Is it painful?
Most of the skin check process is painless. A biopsy or excision may cause minor discomfort, which is managed with local anaesthetic.
How often should I get one?
Typically annually, but if you are high risk or have changing lesions, checks may be recommended every 3-6 months.
What does a mole check involve?
A mole check examines specific suspicious lesions using dermoscopy, and may include imaging and monitoring for change over time.
What happens if something is suspicious?
We may perform a biopsy or excision. If more complex treatment is needed, we refer you to appropriate specialists.
What if I don’t have any skin concerns?
Even without symptoms, periodic screening may benefit those at higher risk. For low-risk individuals, your GP can advise on the best approach.
