In these uncertain times, we want to let you know that we are still here for you. During the coronavirus (Covid19) pandemic, please don’t forget the importance of maintaining your skin health. Our skin cancer centres across Australia are still open to serve you.
Please don't cancel your appointment unless you are unwell, isolating, or awaiting Covid19 test results, as your skin health remains a high priority.
Delaying your skin cancer check or procedure could be fatal.
Skin cancer kills five people in Australia every day and unfortunately diagnoses are still a daily occurrence at our centres. Skin cancer won’t wait during the pandemic and neither should you.
Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment and cure, and we look forward to continuing to welcome you for your skin check.
New research shows that there has been a significant reduction in the number of melanoma treatments performed in Australia during the Covid19 pandemic. This means less people sought treatment for their malignant skin cancers. Unfortunately, skin cancer doesn’t wait, even during a pandemic.
Regular skin cancer checks are still essential and available to all Australians before, during and after lockdowns.
As a medical centre, we are taking all precautions to protect the health of our patients and staff. We are going above and beyond to provide patients with a safe and clean environment for skin checks and treatments, and we will continue to maintain extremely high hygiene standards as this crisis unfolds.
Some of the steps we are taking include:
The true risk of COVID-19 exposure at our centre is low – much lower than other public spaces such as the supermarket.
Please don't cancel your skin check or treatment unless you are unwell, isolating, or awaiting Covid test results. For us, it is business as usual as we continue to save lives through the early detection of skin cancer.
Please call us if you have any questions or if we can serve you in any way. We look forward to welcoming you.
