Summer Skin Checks


Whether or not you have grown up in Australia or have had sun exposure, a regular skin check is important to watch for any changes that might indicate a skin problem. If you have any concerns about any skin bump, moles, beauty spot or freckle then please make an appointment for a skin check with your doctor.


It is easy to have a full body skin cancer screening examination every year, or more often if your doctor decides that you need more careful monitoring. Some people may be at higher risk of developing skin cancer such as:


  • Inherited risk; such as red hair and freckles, having multiple moles and freckles on your body, or if you have a family history of melanoma.
  • Environmental exposure; such as too much sun, trips to the tanning salon or one or more blistering sunburns.
  • Personal pre-cancerous conditions; such as actinic keratosis, dysplastic nevi (unusual moles), a personal skin cancer history such as basal and squamous cell cancers.
  • Prior treatment; such as radiation treatment, immunosuppressive treatment or medications that increase risk.










Stopping smoking


When you are attempting to quit smoking, it is helpful to be able to pull on the support of family and friends. However, there is also professional guidance and support available. Professional quit support from a qualified health professional can increase the odds of quitting smoking successfully. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness, but instead a great way to enhance your chances of becoming smoke free.You may want to consider the following types of quit support services:


Quitline (13 7848 or 13 QUIT)

Individual counselling to help you quit smoking

Advice from your doctor, pharmacist or other health professional

Quit smoking group


A great way to find the quit smoking support you're looking for is by calling the Quitline to find out about recognised support services that may be in your area. Services do change from time to time, and a professional Quitline Advisor can provide you with up-to-date details of the quit support services available. Remember, if you don’t succeed the first time, don’t give up on giving up!

Are you travelling overseas?


You should talk to your doctor well in advance of your trip so you know what vaccinations are needed and when they should be administered, and to ensure you have enough time to complete the course or have any booster doses required.


Generally it takes at least 2 weeks following a vaccination for your body to produce enough antibodies to protect you against the disease. So for the first week or so after having a new vaccination you will have very little protection.
