Skin Checks & Skin Cancer Management OUR NEW SKING CLINIC IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WISE HEALTH SKIN

Living in rural Australia increases the risk of skin cancer. At Oberon Medical Centre, our GPs have completed additional qualifications in Skin Cancer Surgery and Medicine, providing professional, locally delivered care.

In partnership with Wise Health Skin, our clinic offers GP-led skin cancer services delivered by doctors with advanced training in skin cancer medicine and surgery.

Our skin clinic is led by:

• Dr Ainkharan K. Ayngkaran – Diploma in Skin Cancer Surgery
• Dr Sharin De Silva  – Advanced Certificate in Skin Cancer Surgery

Both are experienced GPs providing comprehensive skin cancer screening and treatment at Oberon Medical Centre, in collaboration with Wise Health Skin.

Why Skin Checks Matter

Our region sees intense sun exposure, and with it, a higher risk of skin cancer. Regular checks are essential, particularly for:

• Outdoor workers (farmers, tradespeople)
• Fair-skinned individuals or those with sun damage
• People with multiple or changing moles
• Those over 40 living in rural Australia
• Anyone with a family or personal history of skin cancer

Our Skin Check Process

• Full-body examination using dermatoscopes
• Monitoring of skin changes over tim

• Clear recommendations for follow-up

To arrange a skin check, please book online or speak with our reception team.

Skin Cancer Prevention

Protecting your skin from sun exposure is an essential part of maintaining long-term health. We encourage all patients to follow evidence-based sun safety measures:

• Wear sun-protective clothing and a broad-brimmed hat
• Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily
• Limit time outdoors during peak UV hours
• Check your skin regularly for changes
• Book a professional skin check with your GP each year
