YOUR LOCAL SKIN CANCER CLINIC
Skin checks for Daylesford and Hepburn Springs
Looking after your health in spa country should include your skin. SkinGP Woodend is about 35 minutes from Daylesford via Trentham, a dedicated skin cancer clinic with dedicated skin cancer doctors, FotoFinder total body imaging and on-site parking.
The health check that’s easy to forget
Plenty of people here take good care of themselves: walking, gardening, eating well, getting outdoors. A skin check rarely makes the list, because skin cancer often doesn’t hurt or feel like anything at all. That’s exactly why a yearly check matters. It finds what you can’t feel and often can’t see.
What a full skin check involves
It’s calm, private and takes around 30 to 40 minutes:
-
A nurse photographs your skin with the FotoFinder system, building a map of every mole. A gown or blanket is available throughout.
-
One of our skin cancer doctors examines your skin from scalp to toes with a digital dermatoscope, supported by AI-assisted analysis.
-
You get a clear result before you leave, and a reminder when your next check is due.
If a biopsy or sunspot treatment is needed, it can often be done during the same visit.
Lakes, forests and long days outside
Walks around Lake Daylesford, trails through the Wombat State Forest, market days, garden afternoons and summers at the springs. The air up here can be cool, but UV doesn’t drop with the temperature, and it’s the steady, everyday exposure that counts.
Making the trip
By car: about 35 minutes via Trentham to 44B Anslow Street, Woodend. On-site parking at the clinic.
Make a morning of it: book a mid-morning appointment and you’ll be home well before the afternoon.
Fewer return trips: biopsy results usually take a few days and can be discussed by phone.
Do I need a dermatologist?
No, not for a skin check, and no referral is needed. Most of SkinGP’s doctors are Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors, trained and formally assessed in skin cancer medicine through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia, and our doctors treat most skin cancers right here. If specialist care is ever needed, we’ll refer you and send your results and images ahead.
Fees
A full skin check is $228 out of pocket for all patients, including total body photography and mole mapping. A spot check or urgent lesion review is $69.50, or $59.95 with a concession card. Some private health extras policies pay a benefit for mole mapping. See all fees.
