Skin checks for Gisborne, without the Melbourne drive
Gisborne and New Gisborne locals don’t need to head down to the city for a proper skin check. SkinGP Woodend is about 15 minutes from Gisborne via the Calder Freeway, a purpose-built skin cancer clinic on Anslow Street with on-site parking and a team of dedicated skin cancer doctors.
Market mornings and Mount Gisborne walks
A Saturday at the Gisborne Olde Time Market, walks up Mount Gisborne, junior footy and netball, weekends in the garden.
The Macedon Ranges climate can feel mild, but UV doesn’t follow the temperature, and it’s the steady, unnoticed exposure that adds up. Most adults should have a full skin check every year.
The local option for Gisborne and New Gisborne
Gisborne has grown fast, and plenty of locals spend their week driving or training into Melbourne. It’s tempting to fit health appointments around the city commute. But a skin check at SkinGP Woodend is closer, easier to park for, and done in 30 to 40 minutes, with total body photography, a head-to-toe examination and a clear plan before you leave. And SkinGP’s Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors are the only ones in the Macedon Ranges.

If you need a biopsy or sunspot treatment, it can often be scheduled in quickly, and there's no need to travel to a different location or doctor.

Our doctors diagnose and treat most skin cancers in the clinic, and refer you to a dermatologist or other specialist when a case needs it, with your results and images sent ahead.
