Skin check pathway

Vincentia Medical Centre Skin Checks: What to Ask Before Booking

Skin checks are listed in the official Shoalhaven Family Medical Centres service list. That does not mean every GP session is automatically a skin-check session, and it does not mean procedures are always completed in the first visit.

For a skin concern, ask reception whether you need a standard GP appointment, a dedicated skin-check appointment, a longer consult, a procedure appointment, or a follow-up for biopsy/excision results.

Book a skin check if you need

  • A mole or spot checked
  • New, changing, bleeding or itchy skin lesion reviewed
  • Sun-damage review
  • Family or personal skin cancer risk discussion
  • GP advice on whether referral/procedure is needed

Ask before booking when

  • You need a full-body skin check
  • You have multiple spots to discuss
  • You expect removal, biopsy or excision
  • You need dressing or wound review
  • You need a specific GP with skin-check interest

Bring to the appointment

  • Photos showing change over time
  • List of spots you are worried about
  • Past skin cancer history
  • Family melanoma history
  • Medication/allergy list
Cost warning: A skin check may be Medicare-covered, but reports, some procedures, pathology, certificates or non-Medicare items may still create out-of-pocket costs. Ask before the appointment.
Women’s health pathway

Women’s Health at Vincentia Medical Centre

Women’s health is listed in the official service menu. The best appointment depends on the issue: screening, contraception, pregnancy care, menopause, breast symptoms, period problems, sexual health, mental health or chronic disease review.

Do not squeeze complex women’s health concerns into a short appointment. If you need cervical screening, contraception advice, pregnancy discussion, menopause support or several symptoms reviewed, call and ask for the correct appointment type.
